A NEW STUDY has shown that less than half of Irish investors have confidence in the country’s economic outlook over the next three months.

The survey by RaboBank shows that investor confidence has fallen by four per cent in the last three months, with the Budget now four weeks away.

CSO figures show the economy shrunk in the first three months of this year, but in 2012 GDP was up by nearly one per cent, while the number of people in employment has grown by nearly two per cent in the last year.

So today we want to know: Are you confident about the Irish economy?
