Multi-Family Market
ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
GDP grew by 3.4% in 2020 according to the CSO, a remarkable outcome given that the Irish economy was expected to contract by over 10% at the onset of the pandemic and also because it meant Ireland was the only economy to expand in Europe last year. Technology was one of the main drivers of the out-per- formance with Information and Communications Technology growing by 14.3% y/y. This is a positive for Dublin and Cork’s PRS markets given that both of these cities are heavily influenced by the performance of the tech sector. Looking ahead, the European Commission has forecasted continued positive economic growth of 3.4% and 3.5% in 2021 and 2022 respectively.
