Foreword by The Minister The Light Blue Book for the financial year ended 31st March 2017 delivers a message of strong financial control and signs of positive economic growth. I am pleased to note that an improved revenue surplus position of £22m has been achieved through better than expected direct and indirect taxation receipts, some of which is clearly attributable to a strong business performance in our key sectors notably ICT and e-gaming. Alongside that, Social Security spending during the period was £10.7m lower than anticipated and is reflective of unexpectedly low levels of unemployment. These factors provide a good indication of the ongoing strength of our economy. As far a public spending is concerned we continue to draw on Reserves to meet operational and personnel commitments, most clearly defined by the use of the Public Service Employee Pensions Reserve (£31.5m). However, departments have remained within budgets with the exception of DHSC who received a supplementary vote of £11.1m. The improved income performance has allowed us to fund this amount without having to draw further on the Reserves. The market value of our external investments has also increased significantly during the financial year and is reflective of not only the good performance from our Investment Managers but also prevailing market conditions. The large increase in the market value this year is influenced by the relatively low starting point at the beginning of the year, due to a dip in the stock market at the previous year end, followed by a strong recovery and performance. Whilst these results give cause for optimism, we must not be complacent particularly given international events. I am mindful that there continues to be significant financial pressures on services, particularly our Health Service but we must have an eye for the longer term and prepare for the significant cash-flow pressure that will hit the revenue account in 2021/22 when the Public Service Employee Pensions Reserve is forecast to be depleted. So my message is that whilst we can take some comfort from the financial position reported in these accounts, it is important to bear in mind the future financial challenges that we are facing and to remember that in achieving this position we have utilised our reserves. As a financially responsible Government we will continue to focus squarely on the objective of delivering sustainable public finances for a secure future. Hon. Alf Cannan, MHK Minister for the Treasury Page 4 Isle of Man Government Detailed Accounts – Year Ended 31 March 2017 2.
