Irish economy grew in first quarter of year due to exporting increase ahead of US tariffs
IRELAND'S GDP increased by 9.7 per cent in the first quarter of this year new figures show. The Central Statistics Office published the Quarterly National Accounts for the first quarter of 2025 today. They show the rise in gross domestic product (GDP) which was driven by a substantial increase in goods exports as firms' rushed to export to the US ahead of the proposed higher tariff's due to be implemented by President Trump on EU goods. Finance Minister Pascal Donohoe 'I note the substantial quarterly increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 9.7 per cent in the first quarter of this year,' Finance Minister Pascal Donohoe said today. 'This was driven by a significant increase in the export of goods, and reflects, in large part, the 'front-loading' of exports in anticipation of the imposition of tariffs by the US administration,' he explained. 'This is also a feature in other countries, though the scale is much larger in Ireland. 'My officials assess this as likely to be temporary – with exports and GDP likely to moderate over the course of this year.' Elsewhere the figures show the nation's Modified Domestic Demand – which is deemed a more appropriate indicator of activity in the domestic economy – grew by 0.8 per cent relative to the previous quarter and by one per cent on an annual basis. Consumer spending grew at a pace of 2.5 per cent in the first quarter according to the report. 'Today's results highlight, once again, that GDP is not an accurate reflection of economic activity happening 'on the ground',' Minister Donohoe said. 'This is why alternative indicators, such as Modified Domestic Demand, are so important in an Irish context. 'On this basis, the domestic economy grew by 0.8 per cent in the first quarter. 'This is a more accurate reflection of developments in the domestic economy and is consistent with the strength of our labour market – with a record 2.8 million people in employment at the beginning of the year.' Mr Donohoe claims the figures confirm the 'relatively strong position of the domestic economy at the start of this year'. 'Looking ahead, however, the economic outlook has become increasingly challenging,' he added. 'Indeed, the significant increase in uncertainty is likely weighing on growth,' Mr Donohoe suggested. 'In this more challenging global environment, we must focus on policy areas where we can exert influence. "In particular, continuing to boost our competitiveness will be key to ensuring that Ireland remains an attractive place to live, work and invest – not just today, but over the long term.'

Pre-tariff tech and pharma exports from Ireland boost first-quarter economic growth
ECONOMIC GROWTH IN Ireland surged in the first quarter of this year, as the threat of US tariffs on technology and pharmaceuticals saw exports boom. Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which measures the strength and performance of the Irish economy based on the output of domestic and multinational companies in Ireland, increased by nearly 10% in the first three months of this year. The latest figures from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) show that a 9.4% increase in exports last quarter largely contributed to the economic growth, particularly in multinational-dominated sectors like technology and pharmaceuticals. Exports grew as companies in those sectors sought to deliver their goods to the US before tariffs, implemented briefly by the country's president Donald Trump, came into effect. Advertisement The Republican almost immediately paused the taxes after they began to impact the American economy. It has been reported and stated by members of government that multinational companies have postponed rounds of investments over the instability. Domestic companies last quarter grew by 0.7%. Modified Domestic Demand (MDD), which measures economic performance in Ireland based on the output of domestic companies in Ireland only, grew by 0.6%. Finance minister Paschal Donohoe said the increase in GDP and export figures are likely to be temporary. He welcomed the growth in MDD rates as a reflection of resilience among Irish companies. 'In this more challenging global environment, we must focus on policy areas where we can exert influence,' Donohoe, who is also the President of the Eurozone finance ministers, the Eurogroup, said. He added:'In particular, continuing to boost our competitiveness will be key to ensuring that Ireland remains an attractive place to live, work and invest – not just today, but over the long term.'
