Here at Down to Business, we speak to renowned economist Moore McDowell twice a year; once in January and then again during the summer to see where he thinks the economy is going.

This week we heard the news of the highest ever tax take in the history of the state, but of course, we have the challenges of a pandemic, Brexit, and energy price hikes to contend with.

Moore joined Bobby to chat through the economic outlook for 2022.
