Gibraltar

Overview

Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, not a sovereign country. Its location beside the Strait of Gibraltar places it on a major international shipping route, supporting maritime services alongside tourism.

The territory's economy is strongly service-based, with financial services and online gaming important business sectors. Its close links with neighbouring Spain make cross-border movement of workers and visitors an important part of daily economic life, while its small size concentrates exposure to regulatory and border changes.

On the rise

Specialist financial and maritime services give Gibraltar a role beyond its size — with access across the Spanish border and evolving international regulation important to its outlook.
