INTRODUCTION
Thank you to Stephen for your introduction, and to the joint hosts of this webinar, the Central Bank, ESRI and EIB.
Thanks to the Kemmy Business School at the University of Limerick for their support of the event.
Today I would like to talk to you about the financing of our domestic enterprises and how this links to the Government’s economic response to the pandemic, plans for the medium term post-pandemic period, and the structural changes our society and economy must make to achieve the necessary climate and digital transitions.
