This  Order  brings  into force,  7 days  after  the  Order  is  signed,  the  Immigration  (Electronic  Travel Authorisations) (Jersey) Order 2025. That Order is an Order in Council extending to Jersey section 75 of the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 of the United Kingdom.

R&O.19/2026.

Control of Borrowing (Jersey) Amendment Order 2026. Minister for External Relations.

This Order amends the Control of Borrowing (Jersey) Order 1958 (the "COBO") and makes consequential amendments to related legislation.

The COBO specifies a range of transactions (including borrowing and other forms of capital raising, the formation of bodies corporate and unincorporated, and the issue of shares, securities and other interests) that  must  not  take  place  without  the  consent  of  the  Jersey  Financial  Services  Commission  (the "Commission").

Article 2 amends the COBO to remove that consent requirement in relation to certain transactions.

Paragraph (2) inserts the definition "retail investor", for the purposes of Articles 8, 10(1)(c), 11(1)(c) and 11A(1)(c) as amended by this Order.

Paragraph (3) deletes Article 7, which required the Commission's consent to the issuing of Government securities that were to be registered in Jersey, other than securities of the Government of the United Kingdom or the States of Jersey or Guernsey.

Paragraph (4) amends Article 8, which requires the Commission's consent to the circulation in Jersey of an offer for subscription, sale or exchange (a "prospectus") in relation to certain securities and units in a unit trust scheme. The effect of the amendment is that the Commission's consent is required only if the prospectus is issued by a person that is not incorporated or established in Jersey and is circulated to retail investors in Jersey.

Paragraph (5) amends Articles 10(1)(c), 11(1)(c) and 11A(1)(c), which require the Commission's consent to the circulation in Jersey of prospectuses in relation to certain partnership interests and interests in limited liability companies. The effect of the amendments is that the Commission's consent is required only if the prospectus is issued by a person that is not incorporated or established in Jersey and is circulated to retail investors in Jersey.

Paragraph (6) amends Article 14, so that the requirement to obtain the Commission's consent –

  1. under Article 1(2), 3(1), 9(1)(a) or (b), 10(1)(a) or (b), 11(1)(a) or (b) or 11A(1)(a) or (b) does not apply to a non-Jersey domiciled entity unless it is an investment fund;
  2. under Article 9(1)(a) or (b) does not apply to a Jersey unit trust unless it is an investment fund.

Paragraph (7) inserts new Article 14A, which makes provision about consents granted by the Commission before this Order comes into force. It states that if a consent described in Article 14 (as amended by paragraph (6)) was granted before 13th April 2026, the consent is no longer required from that date and is treated as no longer having effect. And it states that the amendments made by this Order do not affect the validity of anything done in reliance on consent granted by the Commission under the COBO before this Order comes into force.

Articles 1, 3 and 4 make consequential amendments to remove references to consent under the COBO from, respectively, the Collective Investment Funds (Restriction of Scope) (Jersey) Order 2000, the Financial Services (Investment Business (Restricted Investment Business – Exemption)) (Jersey) Order 2001  and  the  Financial  Services  (Investment  Business  (Special  Purpose  Investment  Business  – Exemption)) (Jersey) Order 2001.

Article 5 gives the name of this Order and states that it comes into force on 13th April 2026. The Order was made on 5th March 2026 and comes into force on 13th April 2026.

R&O.20/2026.
