Local business organisations welcome new budget

Island business organisations have welcomed the government's new budget.

The Local Economy Forum says it's pleased with Treasury Minister Chris Thomas's move to raise the personal tax allowance to £17,000. 

Meanwhile, the Chamber of Commerce released a statement welcoming the boost in take home pay for lower earners. 

However, it adds it still has concerns about government inefficiency and continued reliance on reserves.
