Irish Economy Contracts 1.3% In Q4

Ireland's economy contracted in the final quarter of 2024 following a robust recovery in the previous quarter, according to preliminary figures released by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) on Tuesday.

The country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) declined by a seasonally adjusted 1.3% in the fourth quarter, countering the 3.5% expansion experienced in the third quarter. This contraction represents the most significant decline within a year.

The decrease was primarily attributed to a downturn in the multinational-dominated industry sector, as reported by the CSO.
