​
​​Whilst recent days have seen significant economic volatility across the globe, Jersey
is well placed to face these challenges. We have a successful economy and long-term
reserves of a scale that very few jurisdictions can match.
​​Underpinned by these reserves, the public finances have proved to be remarkably
resilient in the face of the events of recent years.
​​Faced with current global uncertainties, Jersey is best served by prioritising
investment in infrastructure that benefits and stimulates the local economy,
enhances the wellbeing of Islanders, and contributes to Jersey being a vibrant place
to live and work.
​​I can assure Islanders that Treasury remains committed to improving investment in
the Island’s infrastructure and, in particular, to financing the New Hospital Facilities at
Overdale and Fort Regent​
