For those looking to the stock markets for strong long-term growth - despite the recent tremors - ABN Amro has issued its latest batch of recommendations. The broker suggests the best buys in the Irish market for investors are AIB, Elan, CRH, Viridian, Irish Permanent, Fyffes, Kingspan, Green, Arnotts and Heiton. It suggests AIB and Irish Permanent have the scope to outperform in the months ahead, benefiting from cuts in Irish interest rates and tax cuts. Irish Permanent offers the greatest relative value to its peers with only 12 months of its takeover protection remaining, it states.
