Impact of Covid-19: Overall Fiscal and Monetary Position
Dr. Mark Cassidy:
Those figures are an estimate based on previous rates of increase. We think there will be a short-term impact based on adhering to health protocols. Undoubtedly, because of the time taken to build a house, the output this year and next year will be less and the rate after that is dependent on the capacity of the sector to increase its output.
