Alex Ruddy, from the IoD, said: “The results of our third survey highlight a clear confidence gap between the outlook for individual businesses and the wider Jersey economy.
“While many organisations remain resilient, the persistent pessimism about the broader economic environment is a warning sign.
“Ahead of the 2026 elections, we urge policymakers to prioritise fiscal discipline, provide certainty on investment plans, and reduce regulatory burdens.
“Jersey’s future competitiveness depends on decisive action now. IoD Jersey will continue to engage with government and stakeholders to ensure that the voice of business is heard in shaping the island’s economic future.”
