Ireland
Ireland is successfully emerging from its post-crisis adjustment programme. Economic activity is showing signs of revival and is projected to gradually strengthen in 2014-15. Growth will continue to be led by exports, with private consumption making a rising contribution. Business investment is also projected to expand, reflecting Ireland’s attractiveness for foreign direct investment. The unemployment rate will continue to decline, aided by the broadening of the recovery to more labour-intensive sectors.
