Jersey has a long track record as a fast mover, adapting to new trends to carve out its area of expertise.

We have been world-famous as clothing producers, farmers, fishermen and, most recently, as financiers. Digital represents Jersey’s great opportunity to enhance our position as a knowledge-based economy, delivering prosperity and stability for the Island and its people.

The objectives and principles contained in this Framework will determine our approach to policy for the next decade. The objectives describe what we are aiming to achieve, and the principles explain how we will approach policy development to achieve our stated objectives.
