Ireland Construction Trends and Opportunities to 2017

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar. 22, 2013 - DALLAS -- The Irish construction industry valued EUR10.9 billion (US$15.2 billion) in 2012, after declining at a CAGR of -28.25% over the review period (2008–2012). All construction categories registered negative growth, largely as a result of the economic slowdown experienced after the financial crisis and austerity measures implemented by the government. The Irish economy entered recession in 2008 and contracted by -5.2%. In 2009, the financial crisis also severely affected the country's economy. Ireland's GDP registered a growth rate of 1.4% and increased in value from EUR156.5 billion (US$207.8 billion) in 2010 to EUR158.7 billion (US$221.1 billion) in 2011. Ireland's budget deficit stood at 8.2% of its GDP in 2012, well above the EU's limit of 3%. The government plans to implement budget cuts and tax increases to reduce the deficit to 7.5% of GDP in 2013 and less than 3% by 2015. The global financial crisis adversely affected consumer confidence, causing a decline in investment in the construction industry.
