Ulster Unionists have a vision of a flourishing regional economy in Northern Ireland, built on the strong foundations provided by the UK economy, access to the European single market and political stability in our community. For this vision to become reality, Northern Ireland needs policies capable of facing the challenges of a competitive global marketplace. Opportunity, prosperity, and growth are the main concerns of Northern Ireland’s businesses. Meeting these concerns requires a competitive, dynamic, knowledge-based economy. Ulster Unionists believe that devolved Government in Northern Ireland can act as a catalyst for economic renewal, with economic growth going hand in hand with social justice. Enabling all – not just some – to have the skills to contribute to the success of Northern Ireland PLC is necessary both for economic competitiveness and for a just society. Ulster Unionists believe that by fostering a spirit of innovation and creating a culture of enterprise, we can build an economic future marked by opportunity, investment and growth.
