The grant paid to Jersey Finance in 2017 was £5,570,000 (£4,870,000 core annual grant and £700,000 for a one-off project to support a Financial Services Strategic Review which was funded from the Economic Productivity Growth Drawdown Provision within Contingencies).

Note: Due to the volume of information, copies of the grant accounts are not attached to the above Reports. They can be obtained in electronic (PDF) or hard copy format from the States Assembly Information Centre, States Greffe, on the Ground Floor of Morier House. They are not provided within this response as they are available to the applicant and therefore absolutely exempt under Article 23 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011.
