WQ.290/2023

WRITTEN QUESTION TO

THE MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM, SPORT AND CULTURE BY DEPUTY M.B. ANDREWS OF ST. HELIER NORTH

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 26th JUNE 2023

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 3rd JULY 2023

Question

“Will the Minister advise whether consideration has been given, or will be given, to the Government holding current and capital account information; and, if not, why not?”

Answer

The current and capital account are based on a complex and diverse range of data sources, complicated further by Jersey’s close relationship, and customs union, with the UK and the other Crown Dependencies. The Export Strategy Green Paper, published last year, set out improved data as a key workstream and some avenues to achieve this. We will shortly be publishing an Export Strategy for Jersey with further proposals.
