Upcoming Webinar: The era of predictable unpredictability is not going away. Intense uncertainty is still a key theme.
We are delighted to welcome Jim Power and Chris Johns to take part in our next Toolkit session on Wednesday February 1st at 9AM.
The global economy faces enormous challenges, from energy and food shocks, inflation, debt and a downturn in stock markets and economic growth.
There is also a need to be conscious of Brexit and the potential negative impact on Irish trade with the UK.
Despite the global challenges and general negativity, there could be a possibility of growth surprising on the upside.
