Quarterly Sectoral Forecasts

Our latest view on the outlook for the Northern Ireland economy, including forecasts of output and employment growth for the main sectors in Northern Ireland

Conor Lambe

In 2025, economic growth is expected to remain modest, reflecting the lack of momentum in the economy, the expectation that inflation may run somewhat higher than previously anticipated, the increase in business costs arising from the UK autumn Budget and elevated uncertainty stemming from emerging global risks. However, further gradual easing of monetary policy and increased government spending may provide some support to the pace of economic expansion.
