In this episode of Ibec Responds, Alan Sherlock, External Affairs Manager, sits down with Gerard Brady, Head of National Policy and Chief Economist and Hazel Ahern-Flynn, Senior Economist to discuss the key findings from our latest Economic Outlook report.
We are currently navigating a period of intense global volatility. From the dramatic "whiplash" trade effects driven by anticipated US tariffs to the staggering rise of AI-enabling goods, our economic landscape is shifting rapidly. Meanwhile, Irish businesses are feeling the pinch of a cooling domestic labour market and rising operational costs.
Alan, Ger and Hazel also use this moment to reiterate our call for the deployment of the National Training Fund. Unlocking this fund is essential to support the workforce transition, prepare our people for the future of work, and firmly establish Ireland as a frontrunner in the emerging global economy.
