The long-term resilience of Jersey’s economy is to be examined and put to the test at this year’s IoD Jersey Annual Debate.
Entitled ‘Is Jersey’s Economic Model Sustainable?’, the event will take place on Thursday 20 September at 5.30pm at the Royal Jersey Agricultural & Horticultural Society.
Delegates will hear from keynote speaker Leo Johnson, Partner and Disruption Lead at PwC. Panellists will include Geoff Cook of Jersey Finance, Tony Moretta of Digital Jersey and Scrutiny head Senator Kristina Moore. Further speakers and panellists will be be announced later.
The event will examine Jersey’s tax environment and ask to what extent it should be revisited in order to meet the needs of a changing demographic and the evolving demands on island resources.
In addition, by analysing the evolving business and public-sector landscape, panellists will discuss whether Jersey has the right ingredients to maintain its appeal as a centre for international commerce and whether it can continue to generate the levels of income the States of Jersey need to provide efficient and effective services to islanders in the long term.
The moderator will be former news broadcaster Alastair Stewart.
