Digital's economic value on a par with tourism

AN independent report has concluded digital is now a larger sector of the Jersey economy than agriculture, and on a par with tourism. The report by Tech Nation, a UK body which measures and provides support for the digital sector there, found that outside of finance, digital represented 43% of exports or GVA, worth around £180 million to the Jersey economy. Tourism accounts for around 43.7% and agriculture 13.4%.
