11  Conclusion

113. Although the situation in the property market does still give some cause for concern, and whilst it has taken time for the banking sector to re-establish confidence and to be considered again as "open for business", we welcome the fact that, over the past year, the Northern Ireland economy has shown definite signs of recovery, with many new jobs recently being announced; added to this good news, the banks themselves are showing a return to profitability.
