Ibec urges Government to invest in key projects as economy growth to slow

The Government is being urged to keep its nerve and roll out its spending plans on roads, public transport, businesses, and education, to meet the threats of Brexit, trade wars, and the reforms of global tax regimes (which could undermine the country’s corporation tax).

Business group Ibec, in its latest quarterly bulletin, also reiterated that it wants Finance Minister, Paschal Donohoe, in his October budget, to bring in business-friendly reforms to capital gains tax and specific employment incentives, as well as tax credits for small firms.
