Chief minister keen to develop new business area as one or two sectors decline
The chief minister says the Isle of Man has to be ready to capitalise on new business opportunities.
Alfred Cannan confirmed there has been a decline in one or two sectors recently, including e-gaming.
Figures recently published by the Isle of Man Government indicate the Manx economy has contracted for the second year in a row.
Mr Cannan told Manx Radio it's important to be ready for new developments:
Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital closure 'inconvenient' but 'significant issues' need to be fixed
Work to tackle problems taking longer than anticipated
Four local authorities looking for by-election candidates
Ballaugh, Bride, Garff and Jurby Commissioners all seeking additional members
Reinstatement of home births 'remains at top of agenda' for Manx Care
Chief Exec insists the situation is 'improving'
Weekend sailings at risk
SPC warns poor weather could lead to disruption or cancellations
