Ms Olivia Buckley:

I have a brief comment on the budget debate. We have been at pains in the institute this year to concentrate on the export strategy piece of work more than a budget document. This is a longer-term journey and there is much pressure on the system.

It was not an exercise in clamouring and calling but rather a reflection on where we felt the strategy of the country needed to go, supported by tax policy. The tone and approach of the institute has very much been geared towards the medium to long term, given what is going on.
