The treasury minister said she was surprised at Jersey spending £190m on fighting coronavirus in the last year.
Deputy Susie Pinel told the BBC she expected the figure to be higher.
"It was encouraging to see that it had been directed in the right way and not quite as demanding as we thought it was going to be," she said.
The minister warned, however, that it would take "a long time" to pay the money back.
She said the vaccination and test and tracing programmes, as well as the opening of the hospitality industry shows tax payers money has been well spent.
