Dominic Wheatley, Chief Executive of Guernsey Finance, said: "We note the decision of the people of the UK to leave the EU. This is a historic decision and indeed a historic day. However, although the decision is clear, we have yet to see how it will be implemented and the new world that will be formed in this process. We will be monitoring developments closely to assess the impact of this on Guernsey and the financial markets in which we operate.
"What is clear is that Guernsey is robust, innovative and responsive to its markets and the international business environment. These qualities will continue to ensure that those who come to Guernsey to undertake finance business will enjoy the same excellence of service, financial security and expertise of advice and governance as they already do.
"Guernsey will remain committed to its position at the forefront of global standards of regulation, tax cooperation and transparency and ant-money laundering.
"This position, alongside the substance and expertise of our finance industries, and the commitment and professionalism of the Guernsey Financial Services Commission and our government, make us very confident that we can adapt and succeed in this new world as it evolves."
