| Ekonomia | Jersey's economy is based on international financial services, agriculture, and tourism. In 2005 the finance sector accounted dla about 50% of the island's output. Potatoes, cauliflower, tomatoes, and especially flowers are important export crops, shipped mostly to the UK. The Jersey breed of dairy cattle is known worldwide and represents an important export income earner. Milk products go to the UK and other EU countries. Tourism accounts dla one-quarter of Produkt krajowy brutto. In recent years, the government has encouraged light industry to locate w Jersey, z the result that an electronics industry has developed alongside the traditional manufacturing of knitwear. All raw material and energy requirements are imported, as well as a large share of Jersey's food needs. Light taxes and death duties make the island a popular tax haven. Living standards come close to those of the UK. | The economy is based largely on international financial services, agriculture, and tourism.
