Enterprise and Business Development Strategy Launched

24 October 2006

The Enterprise and Business Development Strategy was launched on Tuesday 24 October by the Economic Development Minister, Senator Philip Ozouf.

The strategy supports the Economic Growth Plan and the States agreed policy for sustained economic growth, which set a target of 2% real growth across all sectors. The financial services sector will continue to be a key element of Jersey’s long term economic growth but this strategy recognises the need to diversify our economic base and the industries represented in the Island.

The aim is to stimulate business start-ups, support growth within new and existing organisations and encourage diversity across all sectors of the economy. It will be funded by a re-prioritisation of expenditure within the existing Economic Development budget, supplemented by new money awarded to the Economic Growth Plan. The result will be a new range of products and services being promoted coupled with a Business Centre at Jubilee Wharf for all business enquiries.
