  • The Brexit Referendum: Ten Years On
    Jun 26 2026

    In 2016, Gibraltar campaigned hard against Brexit, warning of uncertainty and the risk of a harder border.

    A decade later, with a UK-EU Treaty now promising fluid movement at the frontier and access to Schengen, we face an uncomfortable truth - are we actually glad it happened?

    Jonathan Sacramento is joined by members of the original Stronger In campaign, including its former chair Gemma Arias-Vasquez, now Minister for Business, to look back at the referendum, the years of negotiation that followed, and the question at the heart of Gibraltar’s post-Brexit future:

  • Updated residency rules
    Jun 19 2026

    It's been a significant week for Gibraltar. With less than a month to go before the Treaty comes into effect, businesses have finally received much of the certainty they've been calling for.

    This week has seen updated residency rules, changes to Category 2 status, and further customs guidance for traders.

    But has the Government struck the right balance? Do the measures provide the clarity businesses need while ensuring Gibraltar remains competitive and attractive for investment?

    Ros Astengo is joined by the Minister for Business, Gemma Arias-Vasquez, and GSD Shadow Minister for Business, Craig Sacarello. Also on Viewpoint are representatives of the business sector: Chair of the Gibraltar Federation of Small Businesses, Owen Smith; President of the Chamber of Commerce, John Isola; and Managing Director of BMI Group, Louis Montegriffo.

    With a new Principal Auditor at the helm and an ambitious programme of audit reform on the table, Ros Astengo sits down with Phil Sharman to discuss the future of accountability and financial scrutiny in Gibraltar. From value-for-money audits and audit independence to staffing challenges, legislative reform and clearing the backlog of public accounts.
