Economy
In 2005, finance and banking accounted for half of the GDP and were largely responsible for Jersey’s 2006 unemployment rate of just 2.2%. New and highly regulated legislation designed to tighten up some of the less salubrious aspects of Jersey’s financial environment should serve to strengthen its reputation in an era when offshore finance is coming under growing political pressure through its implication in money-laundering. In the last few years, Jersey has signed up to several international initiatives designed to tackle the problem while improving financial transparency.
