Govt urged to make tackling inflation a priority
04/09/2007 - 07:36:39The Small Firms Association is calling on the Government to make tackling inflation a priority.
In its latest economic outlook, the association says Ireland is currently experiencing the soft economic landing that has been predicted for years.
It says the only way the country can remain competitive internationally is for the Government to initiate a period of moderate economic growth by bringing inflation down from its current level of around 5%.
The SFA also wants the Government to reduce local authority costs for the business sector in order to boost competitiveness.
