Economy Minister Dr 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.”
