The Isle of Man cabinet office has release their latest data for 2013/14 which states the Islands Gross Domestic Product has reached over ?4 billion a year, which is slightly higher than their predictions set down two years ago.

The national income report from the Economic Affairs unit says this makes it the 31st successive year of growth for the Manx economy.

The biggest increase reported was in the E-Gaming sector, which increased 30% and information/communication technology up 58%.

Overall the e-Gaming sector is now the largest part of the Islands GDP.

But there are areas of concern, the tourist accommodation and retail sectors have both continued to contract.

Speaking in 2013 Mr Bell said he was still worried about some elements of the domestic economy, and the relationship between economic growth and the revenues received by Government to fund public services.
