WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE

MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM, SPORT AND CULTURE BY DEPUTY I. GARDINER OF ST. HELIER

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 1st FEBRUARY 2021

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 8th FEBRUARY 2021

Question

Will the Minister provide an economic activity breakdown, showing income for November and December in the years 2017, 2018, and 2019 for the hospitality and retail sectors?

Answer

While economic activity data is not available in the precise form asked for by the Deputy , I am pleased to report that in November 2020 Statistics Jersey published its first estimates of quarterly revenue and GVA. This  first report  presents  estimates  for  the  non-finance  sectors  of  Jersey's  economy.  These  sectors represent approximately 40% of the total Jersey economy.

In  particular,  Table  5  in  the  appendix  to  that  report  includes  quarterly  sectoral  splits  for  hotels, restaurants and bars' and wholesale and retail trades.' The table is reproduced below for Members' convenience.

Statistics Jersey has committed to work towards the production of estimates for additional sectors in future reports, so that monitoring of the entire economy can be presented on a quarterly basis.
