Momentum must be Maintained to Ensure Recovery is Sustainable

The National Competitiveness Council (NCC) today has today published its Competitiveness Challenge 2015 report, outlining a range of actions designed to boost Ireland’s international competitiveness. This year’s report also includes the Council’s Submission to the Action Plan for Jobs (APJ) 2016 which - recognising the important role that the APJ has played in delivering structural change - focuses on the more immediate actions which should be addressed in 2016.

At the launch, Prof Peter Clinch noted that “the same urgency and commitment that went into bringing down the government deficit, stabilising debt levels and securing the banking system must now go into maintaining and improving the competitiveness of the Irish economy”.
