Forecasts for Budget 2017: Department of Finance

Ms Laura Weymes:
On the Deputy's question on net jobs growth in 2017, the implied figure on the back of the 2.1% growth rate we are projecting is for an increase in employment of 42,000.
With regard to the Deputy's first query on regional breakdown, although the CSO records, it is always at pains to point out that the regional distribution can be prone to estimation revision and so on that basis, we tend to look forward in aggregate terms. The Deputy had a question on wage growth figure. Was that for next year?
