Ireland
The recovery is projected to strengthen over 2014-15. Investment has turned around, including in the housing market, and is expected to grow solidly, although from a low base. Exports, aided by stronger trading partner growth, are projected to pick up. Steady employment growth will help bring the unemployment rate down further. Spare capacity will help keep wage and price inflation subdued.
