On the regulations now present in the international market, Betley said: "Guernsey has accepted that as an island we wish to be part of a more compliant and transparent worldwide financial system and like it or not FATCA is part of that. We will not be able to pause for breath for too long as it is likely that similar multilateral initiatives will be following shortly."
