  • Assessment and Recommendations

    The extraordinary growth in the second half of the 1990s, the era of the "Celtic Tiger", has given way to a more normal, albeit still rapid pace of expansion since 2001, though the extent of the slowdown has been more marked outside the multinationals sector. Some slackening in growth was in any case inevitable and even desirable given increased tensions in the economy, manifest in high inflation, worsening traffic congestion, rapidly rising house prices and recruitment difficulties...

  • Adjusting to Slower Growth and Ensuring Prosperity

    Ireland’s remarkable growth performance that began from the mid-1990s and continued into the start of the new millennium has led to rapid convergence of productivity levels towards the EU average, while employment growth has also been exceptionally strong. Living standards have increased dramatically as a result. Between 1995 and 2000 real GDP grew by an annual average of nearly 10 per cent. It slowed sharply in 2001 to 5.7 per cent but is estimated to have grown at about the same rate in 2002….

  • Sustaining Growth

    The future prosperity of the Irish economy will continue to hinge on sustained business investment and an increase in the well-educated labour force, accompanied by a higher participation rate….
