Minister hopes new bill will put Island in good position ahead of Moneyval
It's important for everyone that the Island has an up-to-date and well-regulated finance sector.
That's from the treasury minister after a bill updating laws for companies in the financial services industry completed its passage through the House of Keys.
Chris Thomas is optimistic the changes will enhance consumer protection and put the sector in a good position ahead of this year's Moneyval assessment.
But he told Manx Radio the benefits reach beyond the 4,000 Manx residents working in finance:
500% increase in immigration arrests on the Isle of Man
More taxpayers' cash could be spent on 'cleaner heating'
RAF veteran says assisting blind climber will be 'massive honour'
Financial leaders from small countries visiting Island
New liquor licence proposed to support private events sector
