Business Sentiment - May 2013

Ibec, the group that represents Irish business, today published its latest Business Sentiment Survey for Q2 2013, which reveals a significant jump in confidence in the domestic sector. The gap in confidence between exporting and non-exporting companies has also narrowed. While the domestic economy has disappointed in the first half of the year, the next six months should see an improvement. This is good news for job prospects, given that so many companies operate primarily in the Irish market.
