Ireland’s economy performed solidly in 2023 with domestic economic indicators still painting a positive picture. The economy is forecast to see GDP growth of 1.2% and 3.2% in 2024 and 2025 respectively, which will see it outperform that of the Euro area where GDP is expected to grow by 0.8% and 1.5% in 2024 and 2025.
Inflation has been a key feature of the Irish economy over the past two years with rising prices impacting retailers and consumers alike. We also experienced a surge in interest rates during 2023 and with these factors still at play, one may have expected to see a slowdown in the retail market. However, consumer sentiment has continued to rise despite inflationary pressures with the latest CSO figure highlighting a 28.9% increase compared to last year.
