Delegates attended the programme at UCM
The opportunity to learn from the experiences of other countries, including the Isle of Man, is beneficial on many levels.
It's the verdict from delegates attending this year's Small Countries Financial Management Programme at UCM.
The scheme is delivered in two parts - a residential week in the Isle of Man, focusing on leadership and financial management, followed by engagement with global experts on strategic policy at the University of Oxford.
Gail Imhoff-Gordon is Director of the Minister of Finance Project Management Office in Antigua and Barbuda, and she welcomes the chance to talk through shared problems with people from similar sized nations:

Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
