Ireland’s Competitiveness Challenge 2020 builds on the Council’s annual benchmarking report - Ireland’s Competitiveness Scorecard 2020 that was published in May.
The COVID-19 pandemic presents many challenges for the competitiveness of the Irish economy. The Challenge 2020 report identifies four broad areas that will be critical to economic recovery and makes 20 targeted, actionable recommendations on the best ways to improve the competitiveness, and sustainability, of the Irish economy over the medium term. These four challenges areas are to:
- Support Ireland’s workers and leverage opportunities for upskilling,
- Address Climate Action in a Competitiveness Context,
- Invest Strategically in Ireland’s Physical Infrastructure, and
- Resolve Long-standing Issues.
