SFA: Budget will bring back confidence in economy

The Small Firms Association has said today’s Budget will restore confidence to the economy.

"The commitment by the Minister for Finance to the full implementation of the National Development Plan, and the 12% increase in capital spending in 2008, should ensure that Ireland improves its ranking in the World Competitiveness League, which is significant for both foreign direct investment and indigenous business prosperity," said its chairman, Pat Crotty.
