  Government Work Plan 2026-2029

  Motion put to the States: To agree that in setting priorities, sequencing work and allocating resources under this Plan, committees should have regard not only to policy objectives and fiscal constraints, but also to the impact of proposed actions on economic activity, productivity, labour participation and the Island’s longer-term economic capacity, and where delivery of super priorities involves trade-offs with economic competitiveness or growth, those trade-offs should be explicitly identified and considered; and for this to be included in the consolidated version of the Government Work Plan to be published on gov.gg.

  This Government Work Plan amendment directs committees to consider impact on economic activity and productivity when setting priorities, tangentially supporting favour for local economic impact in procurement.

  Government Work Plan 2026-2029

  Motion put to the States: To agree that in setting priorities, sequencing work and allocating resources under this Plan, committees should have regard not only to policy objectives and fiscal constraints, but also to the impact of proposed actions on economic activity, productivity, labour participation and the Island’s longer-term economic capacity, and where delivery of super priorities involves trade-offs with economic competitiveness or growth, those trade-offs should be explicitly identified and considered; and for this to be included in the consolidated version of the Government Work Plan to be published on gov.gg.

  Government Work Plan 2026-2029

  Motion put to the States: To agree that maintaining and strengthening the Island’s economic capacity is fundamental to the successful delivery of the Government Work Plan and to note the following, which should be included in the consolidated version of the Government Work Plan to be published on gov.gg: “Economic development, competitiveness and productivity are enabling conditions which underpin the delivery of all super priorities set out in this Plan, rather than representing a discrete policy area or a competing objective. Economic growth, resilience or recovery (termed depending on prevailing financial conditions) materially strengthens the Island’s ability to fund public services, invest in infrastructure and meet community needs over time whilst actively promoting innovation. Economic development should therefore be regarded as a cross-cutting consideration informing prioritisation, sequencing and delivery decisions across the Government Work Plan. Responsibility for supporting economic development and long-term economic capacity is a whole-of-government responsibility. While specific policy levers may sit with individual committees, the economic consequences of decisions are shared across government and should be considered accordingly in the delivery of all super priorities.

  This carried Government Work Plan proposition affirms that maintaining and strengthening the island's economic capacity is fundamental, which broadly connects to the promise to weigh economic impact on local economy in procurement.
