In Parliament this week, Gibraltar’s Minister for Trade, Nigel Feetham, confirmed that a licence has been granted for a company to operate in the prediction markets space. He described this as an area of “substantial” growth potential for Gibraltar, linking it to the Government’s wider push to diversify the economy and attract new types of business.

For businesses, especially those operating fleets, public service vehicles or company cars, the changes clarify exposure and raise the stakes for corporate responsibility.

Tourism policy is entering a decisive phase, with big ambitions set against some unresolved practical questions. In an interview with the Gibraltar Chronicle, Tourism Minister the Hon. Christian Santos outlined plans centred on access, infrastructure and events. For businesses, the key issue is not intent, but whether these plans will translate into sustained demand on the ground.
