Investment bank predicts 3.5% economic growth

Global investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald is the latest financial body to weigh in on the Irish economic recovery with strong 2015 growth projections.

Cantor Fitzgerald is projecting full-year GDP growth of 3.5% in line with predictions from the European Commission and IMF made earlier this year.

The key factors influencing the bank’s outlook for the year are the dual forces of the ECB’s €60bn quantitative easing programme and the continuing fall of the value of the euro.
