Ireland continued to grow at a healthy pace in 2016, mainly driven by domestic demand. The current account surplus widened somewhat in the first three quarters of 2016. Exchequer data for December confirmed the positive trend in public finances. The headline general government deficit is expected to end the year on target at 0.9 percent of GDP, while the debt burden is on a steady downward path. Balance sheet repair of domestic banks has continued but profitability remains weak. Property market conditions have tightened further, mainly owing to a limited supply response.IMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;No. 2017/034Money and Monetary PolicyimfInternational EconomicsimfPublic FinanceimfIndustries: Financial ServicesimfMacroeconomicsimfMonetary PolicyimfInternational Agreements and ObservanceimfInternational OrganizationsimfDebtimfDebt ManagementimfSovereign DebtimfBanksimfDepository InstitutionsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralimfFiscal PolicyimfMonetary economicsimfInternational institutionsimfPublic finance & taxationimfFinanceimfMonetary policyimfInternational organizationimfPublic debtimfLoansimfFinancial institutionsimfCreditimfMoneyimfFiscal stanceimfFiscal policyimfInternational agenciesimfDebts, PublicimfIrelandEconomic conditionsIrelandEconomic policyIrelandimfMoney and Monetary PolicyInternational EconomicsPublic FinanceIndustries: Financial ServicesMacroeconomicsMonetary PolicyInternational Agreements and ObservanceInternational OrganizationsDebtDebt ManagementSovereign DebtBanksDepository InstitutionsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralFiscal PolicyMonetary economicsInternational institutionsPublic finance & taxationFinanceMonetary policyInternational organizationPublic debtLoansFinancial institutionsCreditMoneyFiscal stanceFiscal policyInternational agenciesDebts, Public338.0941509045DcWaIMFBOOK9910165036303321Ireland222393UNINA
