Response

The information requested is not held. Much of the requested information consists of statistics that are either not currently compiled in Jersey or are not compiled at the frequency requested.

To assist the enquirer, statistics published by Statistics Jersey can be found on the Jersey in Figures page here:

This page has the most up to date information available on measures such as RPI and GDP.
