Ministers from the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man met this week to discuss tax standards and working together.

They reconfirmed their shared commitment to international tax standards following a joint statement they released in May.

The statement expressed the three Crown Dependencies' intention to align their approaches to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) Pillar Two framework.

The ministers, who held this week's talks remotely, also agreed that working openly and co-operating with each other on topics of mutual interest benefited all three islands and should continue.

    Saudi Arabia and allied oil producing countries face a decision Sunday on whether to extend production cuts set to expire next month — a move that could push oil prices higher as the summer travel season increases demand for fuel and as the U.S. presidential election contest heats up. The full OPEC+ alliance, made up of members of the producers cartel and allied countries, including Russia, is holding an online meeting, but the cuts in question concern a smaller group of eight, including the Saudis. Reasons include rising non-OPEC production, higher interest rates and concerns about demand due to slower than desired economic growth in Europe and China.
