Guernsey's Ministry of Finance published a release on a high-level roundtable that brought together defence, regulatory and industry leaders to explore how private capital could support resilience, security and long-term stability, including potential alignment with the proposed multilateral Defence, Security and Resilience Bank. The discussion included Lord Stuart Peach, who chairs the DSR Bank Development Group, and participants from investment, legal and fiduciary services alongside the Guernsey Financial Services Commission, the Guernsey International Business Association and Guernsey Finance. Topics covered capital-raising opportunities linked to the DSR Bank and the role international finance centres can play in governance, structuring and trusted financial intermediation. The release also pointed to existing regulatory approvals for defence-related investment structures and noted that the Commission has authorised three defence funds over the past year that plan to invest in defence technology aimed at rebuilding NATO capabilities. The roundtable was positioned as part of wider work under the Finance Sector Growth Strategy 2035, which includes integrating defence, infrastructure and sustainability into Guernsey’s core funds offering, with officials indicating discussions would continue, including in relation to the DSR Bank.
