Commenting on the Jersey Business Tendency Survey results (September 2013), Jersey Finance CEO, Geoff Cook, said: "These latest figures from government are welcome confirmation of the recovery and growth signals that we have been seeing in the marketplace. It is particularly encouraging to see the new business indicator move to a level last seen in 2010/2011 and also to note the improvement relating to future employment, a key indicator for any sector and of real importance to local people.

We are also pleased to note the improvements shown in other sectors, demonstrating that a wider and balanced growth phase for the island’s economy could be underway. In order to sustain these trends across all sectors, it is imperative that the island continues to innovate and work hard to win new business, with appropriate levels of support and stimulus maintained by the States."
