What’s in store for 2024?

An Post CEO David McRedmond joins Ciarán Hancock to discuss a stellar year for the company with a move to a new HQ, a €30 million government loan repaid and some six million packages delivered this December. He also gives his predictions on how Ireland’s economy will perform in 2024, the impact of new EU directives on sustainability and whether hybrid working will continue.

Ciarán is also joined on the line by Irish Times China Correspondent Denis Staunton to discuss what was a disappointing 2023 for the Chinese economy on the back of a property slowdown of ‘historic proportions’. All is not bleak though, as Denis outlines the push towards a ‘level of higher quality growth’ and the continued drive towards decarbonisation. Plus, could 2024 see China engage in a trade war with the US?
