Last 12 months have been challenging for Island business, says minister
The coronavirus pandemic has amplified external pressures on the Isle of Man's economy.
That's from Enterprise Minister Dr Alex Allinson, reflecting on the challenges his department has faced in 2021.
Covid-19 restrictions on Island and internationally have continued to have an impact on local businesses over the last 12 months.
Dr Allinson says there's been a lot to contend with:
