Businesses in Northern Ireland grew again last month, weathering pressures from rising interest rates and jitters around the wider economy, according to the latest PMI report from Ulster Bank.
Activity grew for the fifth consecutive month in June with the most prominent gains recorded in the manufacturing and services sectors, although both construction and retail recorded a slight drop off in activity.
The performance has confirmed recent evidence that businesses in the province have put in a solid performance despite an array of headlines, not least the fact Northern Ireland’s government remains at a standoff.
