Making waves - the power of private capital

Guernsey Finance has itself identified, through our proprietary research and responses to webinars at Guernsey’s Sustainable Finance Week in June 2020, that while governments and the public sector will continue to play a key financing role, there is a need for the private sector to engage and help close the post Covid-19 financing gap.

We hoped that through this event we would be able to contribute some perspectives and perhaps policy proposals to this important global dialogue. We asked Tim Hames, Director-General of the British Private Equity and Venture Capital Association between 2014 and 2019, for his analysis of the week’s discussion.

His analysis has gone further than we had hoped, and he has suggested areas that Guernsey Finance might itself look to progress.
