To build a more successful future, Jersey must maintain good relationships with our neighbours & trading partners.

A Strong Voice For Jersey
- Defending our interests
- Promoting our economy
- Building a sustainable future for our community.
I wish everyone a Happy Liberation Day.
Our national day is a time for commemoration and celebration.
We remember those islanders who endured five long years of occupation, islanders who were evacuated, deported and interned, and those who fought for our liberty and freedom.
Today, I submitted my nomination for Senator. It’s great to have the islandwide mandate back! I’m grateful to my supporters and I look forward to the election campaign. I want to continue to be a strong voice for Jersey, locally and internationally, as we tackle our challenges.
The Budget sets out the base case forecast for receipts from the 15% global corporate tax rate, which we will implement in 2025. This revenue must be used prudently, & especially for investing in our competitiveness. It again highlights the value of financial services to Jersey.
Very pleased that the draft Budget again increases tax thresholds and freezes alcohol and fuel duty. Vital support for islanders and economic growth. It focuses on frontline services & sets out plans to pay for the hospital, put more into reserves and increase our competitiveness
Great to meet new UK Minister for Trade @D_G_Alexander today. We agreed international trade is vital for growth in Jersey & UK. We will work together to open access for services & ease trade frictions with EU market & beyond. Looking forward to working together @biztradegovuk
Jersey’s Moneyval Review puts us in the top 10% globally for technical compliance and effectiveness, and the report confirms we are the highest rated international finance centre. It is an excellent outcome for the island.

We’ll continue to uphold high international standards of regulation & have already started implementing recommendations from the review. This is a strong base from which to grow & develop the industry further, enhance our competitiveness & meet the needs of our global clients 3/3
Moneyval has found that Jersey is Compliant or Largely Compliant with 39/40 Recommendations. Few jurisdictions achieve this high level of compliance. I’m grateful for the hard work of colleagues in @GovJersey, @JerseyPolice, Law Officers, @JerseyFSC, & industry @jerseyfinance 2/3
The Moneyval Report published today confirms that Jersey’s finance industry has a high level of compliance with global standards. This independent review shows that Jersey is a responsible & cooperative international finance centre supporting legitimate growth & prosperity. 1/3
It was a great honour and privilege to be present in the Royal Square yesterday to welcome the King and Queen to Jersey, and to re-affirm our loyalty to the Crown. The island gave Their Majesties a very warm welcome, and we didn’t let the weather stop what was a great day.
🇯🇪🇬🇧
Simon Boas was one of the most capable public servants I have had the pleasure of working with. He was intelligent, humble & kind. He loved Jersey, & loved life. Simon’s untimely death is a tragedy. We will all miss him greatly. My prayers are with Aurelie and Simon’s family. RIP
I associate myself entirely with Deputy Carolyn Labey’s warm and heartfelt tribute to Simon. @CarolynLabey
The Director of Jersey Overseas Aid – whose courageous battle against cancer and humorous writing on the topic inspired people around the world – has sadly passed away⬇️
