The Department of Finance has published Future Forty: A Fiscal and Economic Outlook to 2065.
This analysis, undertaken by the Department of Finance, examines the long-term impacts of global megatrends and other structural shifts and their potential impact on Ireland’s economy and public finances in the years ahead.
“Future Forty includes several in-depth analyses of key economic and fiscal drivers. These include a detailed examination of Ireland’s demographic profile; the potential long-term economic impacts of deglobalisation; the risks and benefits of digitalisation; and the long-term costs of decarbonisation and climate mitigation. In addition to these global trends, Future Forty also assesses the long-term impacts on our economy of current housing supply challenges, the long-term costs of supporting the Irish healthcare system in the context of our ageing population, and the potential trade and migration impacts of further EU expansion. The analysis is undertaken on a ‘no-policy change’ basis.”
