There has to be few places where you can shelter from the current economic climate. Gibraltar is best positioned and structured to ride the global financial downturn. 

Gibraltar benefits from an extensive shipping trade, offshore banking, and its position as an international conference center. The financial sector accounts for 20% of GDP; tourism, shipping services fees, and duties on consumer goods also generate revenue. In recent years, Gibraltar has seen major structural change from a public to a private sector economy, but changes in government spending still have a major impact on the level of employment.

A one-year investigation and analysis of 235 countries and territories by 
Jane’s Country Risk listed Gibraltar as the top stable and prosperous British Territory, in 5th position overall.
