Willis boss critical of markets and of Irish lack of stimulus
Willis boss Joe Plumeri has criticised Ireland - the firm’s new home – and the UK, as “a drag”, Bloomberg reports
“Ireland is getting worse,” he said. “They’re the only country in the world that had an economic impact and didn’t have a stimulus package because they didn’t have enough money. So there’s higher taxes that are being pushed on people in businesses.”
He called Ireland and the UK “a drag” on revenue, while businesses in Spain, Italy, Denmark and Asia performed better.
