Strategy for Sustainable Economic Development

​ Sustainable economic growth is growth that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

For this Government, given the economic challenges and our current economic context, the key aims of sustainable growth are:

• economic growth that does not rely on population growth
  
• does not come at the expense of our carbon neutral commitments
  
• ​growth that benefits everyone
  

The purpose of the Strategy for Sustainable Economic Development is to present a robust, fact-driven case for change, and to outline a vision that inspires collective action.

This strategy is a long-term document, designed to live past individual political cycles.

In May 2022, the initial iteration was published as an Outline Economic Strategy for Jersey​. The final strategy​​ was then published in October 2023.

​It presents the high-level economic analysis for this moment in time, to l​ay the context for change, and it sets the themes for the type of growth we need for the Island.
