The Economics Observatory is holding a series of events to mark 25 years of devolution. The chief aim of these events is to be forward looking and stimulate debate as to how we create prosperous Northern Irish, Scottish, and Welsh economies.
The theme of the Belfast event, on Friday 21 June, is productivity and skills. It was hosted in collaboration with the Northern Ireland Productivity Forum.
The event consisted of two roundtables focusing on skills and productivity in Northern Ireland and the two other devolved nations.
