About the Economics Unit
The Economics Unit advises States departments on all aspects of economic policy and Jersey's economy, from micro-economic issues (eg personal and business taxation) to broader macro-economic issues (eg controlling inflation and generating economic growth).
Our other responsibilities include:
- analysing and assessing factors (both domestic and international) affecting the performance of the Jersey economy to keep ministers and departments informed
- working with the independent Fiscal Policy Panel to give the Treasury and Resources Minister and States Members independent economic advice on matters relating to tax, spending policy and the use of the Stabilisation Fund
- working closely with Statistics Jersey to ensure Jersey has the right information to effectively monitor the economy
