New incentives needed to stimulate growth

Despite recent improvements in market stability, the government must provide manufacturers with clarity over future incentives if they hope to see businesses invest in growth strategies. So says Richard Powell, partner at MHA, adding: “These positive indicators might be short-lived. Manufacturers require certainty, whether in economic direction, to pursue their strategic plans and investments confidently. Without this assurance, businesses may water down their growth strategies, stifling greater sector investment and growth."

With best regards
