Chief executive of the Isle of Man Chamber of Commerce Mike Hennessey says the position facing the Island over the reduced VAT revenue should be viewed as an opportunity.
With £90 million pounds being slashed from Manx government coffers in the next financial year, and £140 million annually after that, huge savings are required.
The situation is so serious Treasury Minister Allan Bell has told the Manx public to lower their expectations in relation to what government can deliver.
Mr Hennessey agrees, but says the Island is resourceful and can move forward:
MLC given leave to introduce bill to tackle gazumping and gazundering
Procurement process for Kirk Onchan Post Office continuing
Bid to outlaw gazumping and gazundering in IoM property market
'Important milestone' for Polish community as new consulate opens on Island
