Northern economy 'needs faster growth'
Northern Ireland’s economy is showing signs of recovery after two difficult years, but forecast growth will be too slow to close the prosperity gap with the rest of Britain, according to a major economic review published today.
Business advisers PricewaterhouseCoopers said the local economy had been insulated from the worst of the global recession by a combination of high public expenditure and better than expected UK economic performance during 2001.
