Irish exports set to slow - report

The Irish export market is set to slow down, according to a new report from investment bank Investec, out later today.

It says that despite strong performances recently, the export environment will remain challenging as Eurozone economies continue to slow.

The report also claims uncertainty in the US will have an effect on growth.

Investec chief economist Philip Shaw said: "A lot of the other European economies are slowing down or contracting. There are question marks over the US as well…We think things are going to be more difficult looking forward."
