Welcoming the draft NI Budget, Suzanne Wylie, Chief Executive, NI Chamber said:
“Businesses will welcome the publication of the draft NI budget for 2025 / 26. After a difficult UK Budget, we hope it will help deliver greater certainty for firms here.
“Whilst we recognise that tough choices need to be made, with more money available to Northern Ireland than ever before, in the next financial year we hope to see real progress in areas like wastewater, childcare and decarbonisation.
“We will take time to review the draft in detail and recommit our own pledge to working in partnership with the Executive in 2025 in pursuit of an ambitious, globally competitive and sustainable economy in Northern Ireland.”
