Council spells out method for economic uplift

THE National Economic & Social Council (NESC), the Government-linked economic consultancy and advisory board, has said that an integrated policy approach is the most effective way of dealing with the current economic crisis.

The council’s reasoning emanates from the downturn touching on a number of different issues including banking and economic concerns and social and reputational dimensions.

“There are advantages in engaging economic and social organisations in framing and implementing such an integrated, national response to the crisis,” the NESC said in a blueprint for a national response to the recession, published yesterday.
