## Resource

The UK’s economy is starkly uneven, with most growth concentrated in the South East and only two regions contributing more to the Treasury than they receive. Northern Ireland, though showing recent gains, lags in productivity and infrastructure. While national stats matter, true progress hinges on equitable opportunity and local innovation. Rebalancing power through greater devolution is gaining momentum, especially in Northern Ireland, which operates within an all-island framework. The current system often funnels regional tax revenue to the Treasury, weakening local incentives for growth. A new economic deal could empower Northern Ireland with more tax autonomy or revenue-sharing tools, enabling a unified vision for sustainable, regionally-driven prosperity.
