The Treasury Minister says there are encouraging signs of recovery in the Manx economy, but the Island must continue to be wary of outside factors such as the current problems in the Eurozone.
That was the key message from Eddie Teare who appeared before the Tynwald Economic Policy Review Committee with his department's chief financial officer Mark Shimmin on Friday.
Mr Teare told the committee the Island's economy grew by 2.1% in the last financial year and is forecast to grow by 3-5% in 2012/13.
He also said that revenue to the Treasury from income tax and national insurance is higher than expected.
The committee's chairman Leonard Singer MHK was generally encouraged by what he heard:
Review of income thresholds for public sector housing
Firearms officers deployed to incident near Laxey
A step into the modern era for social security
Attempted burglary in Ramsey sparks appeal
Two Manx high schools told to stop operating CCTV 'inside' toilets
Port St Mary Commissioners discuss civic amenity site changes
