InterTradeIreland’s latest Business Monitor survey (Q4 2021) reveals that firms across the island are clawing back ground as the pandemic loosens its grip.
The fresh figures show that 41 per cent of firms are in growth mode while 44 per cent say they are stable.This is similar to pre-pandemic levels reported in Q4 2019. A further bright spot is that profitability has increased for many businesses, with well over half of firms (58 per cent) reporting they have remained in the black for the last 12 months.
