OTWO and the Gibraltar Federation of Small Businesses (GFSB) are delighted to announce that Marble Arc has been named the winner of the 2026 World Environment Day Shop Window Competition, marking an impressive second consecutive victory for the business following its success in 2025.

Cyber security is often framed as a technology problem, but Matthew Baird argues the real risk is human behaviour. Using local fraud cases and real-life examples, he explores how criminals exploit trust, urgency and familiarity to trick individuals and businesses, and shares simple, practical steps to help spot and stop social engineering attacks.

Following the publication of HMGoG’s guidance on NIF and EORI registration requirements, the GFSB has produced a practical step-by-step playbook to help Gibraltar businesses navigate the process as clearly and confidently as possible. Over recent weeks, many members have contacted us with questions around whether they need a NIF or EORI number, what the process involves, and whether obtaining these registrations could create Spanish tax obligations.

After weeks of questions, confusion and growing concern amongst Gibraltar businesses, HM Government has now published formal guidance on NIF and EORI registration requirements linked to the future customs arrangements under the treaty. This is the clearest explanation yet of what these registrations are, who actually needs them, and perhaps most importantly, what they do not mean.

Gibraltar may be entering a different phase of its development. The expected implementation of the UK-EU Treaty, together with anticipated changes to Gibraltar’s residency rules, could alter the profile of people looking at Gibraltar as a base. If financial thresholds rise, Gibraltar may attract fewer casual applicants and a more concentrated group of internationally mobile, high-value residents. That could include the ultra high net worth market.
