Andrew Jurczynski, a partner in PwC's UK Financial Services Practice will deliver a keynote presentation on Project Blue, PwC’s recent perspective on the major trends that are reshaping the global economy and their implications for the global financial system. Andrew co-authored Project Blue which was presented to the World Economic Forum at Davos earlier this year and is used by PwC to help our clients around the world to develop strategy in response to fundamental changes in their markets.

Andrew has over 25 years experience advising financial institutions in Europe, North America , the Middle East and Africa on a full range of strategic, operational and organisational issues. He is a leader in PwC’s International Financial Centre Practice and advises central banks on financial stability issues and banking sector reform and governments on the requirements for establishing international and offshore financial centres.

Andrew has studied many of the offshore financial centres in the world and identified not only the critical success factors but also the increasing threats arising out of the global financial crisis.

PwC Director Gordon Wilson said  “ We are delighted to welcome Andrew to the Isle of Man, his offshore perspective, combined with the trends identified in Project Blue, gives him a unique insight into the current offshore financial landscape and his messages are certain to be highly insightful for us here in the Isle of Man.
