ireland - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Ireland is a small, modern, trade-dependent economy. Ireland was among
the initial group of 12 EU nations that began circulating the euro on 1 January
2002. GDP growth averaged 6% in 1995-2007, but economic activity has dropped
sharply since the onset of the world financial crisis, with GDP falling by over
3% in 2008, nearly 7% in 2009, and less than 1% in 2010. Ireland entered into a
recession in 2008 for the first time in more than a decade, with the subsequent
collapse of its domestic property and construction markets. Property prices
rose more rapidly in Ireland in the decade up to 2007 than in any other
developed economy. Since their 2007 peak, average house prices have fallen 47%.
In the wake of the collapse of the construction sector and the downturn in
consumer spending and business investment, the export sector, dominated by
foreign multinationals, has become a key component of Ireland's economy.
Agriculture, once the most important sector, is now dwarfed by industry and services.
In 2008 the COWEN government moved to guarantee all bank deposits, recapitalize
the banking system, and establish partly-public venture capital funds in
response to the country's economic downturn. In 2009, in continued efforts to
stabilize the banking sector, the Irish Government established the National
Asset Management Agency (NAMA) to acquire problem commercial property and
development loans from Irish banks. Faced with sharply reduced revenues and a
burgeoning budget deficit, the Irish Government introduced the first in a
series of draconian budgets in 2009. In addition to across-the-board cuts in
spending, the 2009 budget included wage reductions for all public servants.
These measures were not sufficient. In 2010, the budget deficit reached 32.4%
of GDP - the world's largest deficit, as a percentage of GDP - because of
additional government support for the banking sector. In late 2010, the former
COWEN Government agreed to a $112 billion loan package from the EU and IMF to
help Dublin further increase the capitalization of its banking sector and avoid
defaulting on its sovereign debt. Since entering office in March 2011, the
KENNY government has intensified austerity measures to try to meet the deficit
targets under Ireland's EU-IMF program. Ireland achieved moderate growth in
2011 and cut the budget deficit to 10.1% of GDP, although the recovery is
expected to slow in 2012 as a result of the euro-zone debt crisis.
