    <description>Following this weekend's dress rehearsal for the summit meeting in three weeks of G20, the world's leading economic nations, the word has appareThese are uncomfortable times for Jersey. An island whose economy has moved from agriculture through tourism to the point where fully half its income derives from financial services can only look with extreme nervousness at the onset of a global economic slowdown. But if that were not danger enough, the island also finds itself facing an unprecedented drive by the world's leading governments to clamp down on tax havens. At a conference organised by Jersey-based magazine Business Life last week, the island's politicians, regulators and promoters of financial services were at one in positioning it as an offshore financial centre, not a tax haven.&#xD;
&#xD;
The difference is fundamental. Successful financial centres are well-regulated and transparent; tax havens are secretive and largely unregulated. In Jersey's case, its policy of openness and co-operation with other countries over the past decade means that it is quite the last place  anyone should seek to hide their ill-gotten gains. &#xD;
&#xD;
The danger is that, in their current mood, the world's politicians are unlikely to allow the very evident distinctions between the good, the bad and the ugly in the offshore world stand between them and a favourable headline. In time, Jersey may benefit from the flight to quality as other offshore centres lose business. Meanwhile, it needs its friends.&#xD;
