In this episode I will be talking to economist Jim Power on foot of a call for from the Local Jobs Alliance (LJA) for the establishment of a state agency with specific responsibility to grow and develop SMEs in Ireland.
Jim Power is chief economist at Friends First and founder of the economic research and consultancy firm Jim Power Economics and has authored the report titled, Significance of the SME Sector in the Irish Economy,on behalf of the Local Jobs Alliance that sets out the proposal for this agency.
In this interview Jim sets out the case for this new entity as well as outlining many of the challenges and indeed opportunities that the Irish economy now faces on the wider front as it emerges from the shock of the COVID19 crisis.
