CEO Update: Remaining competitive and resilient in a changing global environment

The latest CEO Update to Ibec membership from Danny McCoy
Dear member,
As we approach the 9th July deadline for the EU-US negotiations on trade and tariffs, we will provide members with timely analysis and updates to ensure you remain well-informed and up to date on the latest developments. Our aim is to ensure members have the necessary information on the relevant changes that may arise from the outcome.
As the international context evolves, it brings renewed focus on the strength and resilience of the domestic economy. This week marked the conclusion of ‘Our business ambition’ campaign publishing six policy papers each week to address key competitiveness and productivity issues across infrastructure, skills, innovation, energy, regulation and digital policy.
To mark the conclusion of the campaign, we hosted an In Conversation event with Peter Burke, Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, in Ibec. Over the course of the six-weeks, the campaign was well received from senior government ministers and members of the Oireachtas, the Action Plan on Competitiveness and Productivity is due to be published later this month.
Next week, we will host a high-level roundtable for CFOs with Paschal Donohoe, Minister for Finance. This fireside chat will address the global economic outlook, tax reform and trade policy, offering senior financial leaders an opportunity to engage directly on policy issues shaping Ireland’s economic agenda.
Lastly, to support a more competitive and resilient European economy, urgent progress is needed to advance the Savings and Investment Union, complete the Banking Union and the develop a common fiscal capacity. We are hosting a webinar to explore our recently published policy paper Funding Europe’s Future. The discussion will bring together senior voices from the European Commission, financial institutions and economic experts. All members with an interest in Europe’s economic direction can register and participate in this important conversation.
Further information and registration for the webinar is available here
As always please do let me know if you have any feedback.
