Recovery – but at what price? Economic Eye Spring 2021
It has been an extraordinary year across the island of Ireland. Covid-19 and Brexit have brought levels of disruption and required policy responses that are unique in peacetime.
Over one-third of the workforce required government support during the year and both the Republic of Ireland (ROI) and the UK have experienced a sharp rise in their national debt, both of which are projected to rise further in the first half of 2021. Over the course of the last 12 months, close to 7,000 people have lost their lives to Covid-19 on the island and almost every business and household has been impacted. The complex health, economic and social impacts of the virus have presented unique challenges across the world and increased the focus on major societal questions relating to how we live, work and socialise.
