Jersey’s top statistician has said he is “delighted” to launch a new website that makes it easier for islanders, businesses and policymakers to get hold of the numbers that shape decisions.
Statistics Jersey’s new website brings together up-to-date information, including inflation figures, house prices and other indicators in one place.
Islanders can use it to explore interactive charts, download reports, and sign up for alerts when new data is published by the statistics office.
The launch follows changes to the Statistics Law earlier this year, which strengthened the independence of Chief Statistician Ian Cope and set up a new Statistics Council to represent the views of people who use the data.
Mr Cope said: “I’m delighted that as an independent body, Statistics Jersey has been able to develop a new website that makes it easier for Islanders to navigate and find statistical data.
“The recent changes to the Statistics Law, which were unanimously supported by the States Assembly, increase both my independence and accountability as Chief Statistician, and that of Statistics Jersey.”
