| dc.description | Our economy is in a strong position having recovered impressively from the financial crisis
and the subsequent recession. At its nadir in early 2012, the unemployment rate was 16%
and almost 50,000 Irish people emigrated that year. Eight years on, Ireland can be proud of
the progress made. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate is down to 5.7% at the end
of 2018, almost 2.28 million people are at work and forced emigration has ended.
However, there is no room for complacency. Significant vulnerabilities are evident in the
domestic economy such as declining productivity levels in small-to medium-sized enterprises
(SMEs). Infrastructural constraints, skills deficits and labour availability, as well as
concentrations in some sectors and markets could, unless ameliorated, impede further
progress. Internationally, Brexit, growing trade protectionism and the undermining of the
rules-based international trading system could threaten our future economic welfare.
The Government is ambitious to build upon the gains we have made in recent years
and to ensure our people enjoy higher standards of living and quality of life now, and
into the future. Several interconnected Government initiatives are underway to reinforce
this. Project Ireland 2040 provides the framework for making Ireland a great place to live -
and do business - through integrated spatial and investment strategies. Global Ireland will
boost our international relations so that we can better influence our place in the world and
targets an ambitious doubling of our overseas impact. Complementing these initiatives,
Future Jobs Ireland will ensure our enterprises and workers are well placed to prosper in the
rapidly changing global economy. | en |
