This indicator tracks the change in average earnings in Jersey's finance sector over time, taking into account the effect of inflation. It is presented as an index set at 100 in 2013 so that the change in the real value of earnings can be compared by allowing for inflation. The 2020 figures should be seen in the context of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the sector and inflation.
