 | | The Bailiwick of Jersey (Jèrriais: Jèrri) is a British Crown dependency off the coast of Normandy, France. As well as the island of Jersey itself, the Bailiwick also includes the uninhabited islands of the Minquiers and Ecréhous, the Pierres de Lecq and other rocks and reefs. |
 | | Jersey’s economy is based on financial services, tourism, electronic commerce and agriculture; financial services contribute approximately 60 per cent of the Island’s economy, and the Island is recognised as one of the leading offshore financial centres. |
 | | Jersey’s only newspaper, the Jersey Evening Post, claims that it has an average issue readership of 73% of adults in Jersey and that over the course of a week 93 per cent of all adults will read a copy of the newspaper, it being the main printed source of local news and official notices. |
