Date published:
Economy Minister Dr Caoimhe Archibald has welcomed Invest NI’s performance results for 2024/25.
The Minister said: “The Independent Review of Invest NI called for profound change and these results demonstrate that this change is happening.”
The Minister added: “Invest NI’s Business Strategy 2024-2027 has set ambitious and challenging targets, and I am pleased to see the organisation delivering well against these, including increasing investments outside the Belfast Metropolitan Area (BMA) from 56% to 59%. I look forward to Invest NI achieving its target of 65% of investments outside the BMA by the end of the Strategy period.”
The Minister continued: “Invest NI cannot achieve the economic change the north needs on its own. I am therefore encouraged by its proactive and positive working with partners on key issues such as the City and Growth Deals, the Magee Taskforce, the Social Enterprise Partnership, and Local Economic Partnerships.”
Concluding the Minister said: “The staff of Invest NI are to be commended for the way they have transformed the organisation. Today’s strong results confirm that Invest NI is delivering on my priorities of increasing the number of good jobs, raising productivity, driving regional balance and decarbonising our economy.”
