Ireland to lead eurozone growth, poll finds

Ireland’s economy is likely to outperform the wider eurozone over the next five years, a new survey of financial analysts has revealed.

The latest member survey from CFA Ireland (the representative body for financial and investment analysts and portfolio managers) found that most respondents feel the eurozone economy will struggle over the course of the next five years, with three quarters saying the region’s inflation rate will remain below 2% during that time.

More than 80% of respondents, however, expect the Irish and global economies to grow this year.
