A recent survey by the American Chamber of Commerce Ireland (AmCham) indicates that Ireland remains an important location for strategic investment by US multinationals. Many companies expect to increase their staff numbers in the next year, although challenges such as cost competitiveness and talent shortages pose obstacles. The survey of AmCham’s US multinational members reveals a generally optimistic outlook for businesses in Ireland.
Ireland remains an important location for strategic investment by US multinationals, a new survey has found, and a large number expect their staff numbers to grow in the next year.
The research, which questioned AmCham’s US multinational members, found an optimistic view of the future for businesses in Ireland, with almost half saying they expected to increase the number of staff at their Irish operations in the next 12 months, while the same number expect to maintain current employee numbers.
More than a third want the Government to put enhancing the road infrastructure at the top of their agenda, while 30 per cent said regional public transport should be made a priority. Just under a quarter said the Government should focus on capacity at airports and ports. AmCham chief executive Paul Sweetman said the findings were largely encouraging. “Over the past six decades, Ireland has fostered an exemplar community of business leaders and laser-focused policymakers to make Ireland a premier location for investment.
