In the latest edition of the Chamber of Commerce newsletter, Mr Keen writes that Islanders and States Members should get behind Treasury Minister Philip Ozouf’s efforts to squeeze public-sector spending.
Recently published annual reports by the States in Jersey and Guernsey showed that the government in Jersey spent £5,700 per Island resident each year, compared to £4,800 per person in Guernsey.
Mr Keen writes that States spending has gone up by 88% over ten years, way ahead of the 46% increase in inflation over the same period.
