Businesses in Cork region upbeat despite Brexit

Businesses in the Cork region are confident about the economic outlook, despite the shock following the UK vote to leave the EU, a survey by the Cork Chamber of Commerce has found.

Its second-quarter survey showed that business confidence had risen from the early part of this year to levels last recorded in the final quarter of 2015.

The survey results may indicate rising optimism despite “the recent market turmoil and uncertainties with our closest trade neighbour,” the chamber said.
