MHK says Island is 'practically' in a recession
Tynwald needs to focus on supporting businesses on the Isle of Man to ensure they survive the current cost of living crisis.
That's the view of a Douglas South MHK who says she believes the Island is 'practically' in a recession and some small businesses will fold over the summer.
Claire Christian is the chair of the Economic Policy Review Committee and a local business owner.
She told Manx Radio politicians must look further ahead:
'Power of veto' might help get difficult decisions through, says chief minister
Alfred Cannan discusses what powers might be 'helpful' in top role
Ramsey Commissioners not adding 'optional' one percent increase to social housing rents
Commissioner Juan McGuinness says new system could create 'postcode lottery'
New gynaecology clinic room will 'significantly increase capacity'
Facility opened on Integrated Women, Children & Families Ward
'Running a business in Strand Street is more difficult than ever'
Traders in Douglas say it's becoming an 'uphill struggle' to operate in the city centre
