Following publication of the draft Programme for Government, Suzanne Wylie, Chief Executive at Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NI Chamber) said:
“NI Chamber welcomes the publication of the draft Programme for Government and in particular, its focus on supporting high-potential sectors to grow a globally competitive and sustainable economy as an overall priority.
“We also welcome the prioritisation of cross-cutting issues including affordable childcare, healthcare waiting times, housing, and the transformation of public services, all of which have direct consequences for business and economic growth.
“After almost a decade with no agreed Programme for Government in place, now is the time for ambitious delivery, despite a tight fiscal environment. We will take time to carefully consider the plan, its proposals and missions in detail and look forward to working in partnership with the Executive to help facilitate its swift delivery.”
