The National Competitiveness Council will now be known as the National Competitiveness and Productivity Council, reflecting the Council’s expanded mandate as Ireland’s National Productivity Board. This Bulletin outlines the importance of productivity as the ultimate engine of long-term economic growth and utilises the latest CSO productivity statistics to analyse productivity trends in Ireland.

The NCPC is committed to supporting research on the drivers of productivity in Irish enterprises, so that we have solid evidence on which to base recommended actions to improve enterprise productivity in all sectors of the Irish economy, especially in SMEs.
