Successful return to markets but scars will take time to heal

Ireland will make a successful and sustained return to market funding over 2014, although the growth rate across the eurozone will remain subdued for years to come because of the scars left by the financial crisis, according to the EY Eurozone Forecast.

“Ireland looks well placed to fund its public finance needs from the markets from 2014.

“This is the result of years of hard work that have left the Irish economy stronger and better able to generate sustained growth,” says Marie Diron, senior economic adviser to EY Eurozone Forecast.
