The Chief Minister says the business community will have to deal with a number of local challenges in the year ahead.
Yesterday he delivered his ‘state of the nation’ speech at an annual conference organised by the Alliance of Isle of Man Compliance Professionals.
Highlighting the progress achieved over the last 12 months Allan Bell says growing the economy remains his top priority.
However there was a warning that further cuts are likely particularly in banking and fiduciary business.
Mr Bell says his message is one of optimism:
Ramsey looking for four new commissioners
Strang Stores applies for extension permission
Tynwald petition advice is free - but you'll need to act soon!
Midnight closing for new Indian restaurant in Castletown?
Tynwald to hear about Ramsey hospital reopening
Superdrug to open beauty salon in summer
MHK to query regulation for funeral directors
Road closures announced for Sprintfest - but no Ramsey Sprint again?
