Abstract

Previous Medium-Term Reviews, which forecast relatively rapid growth in the economy, were greeted with a certain amount of incredulity at the time they were published, although history subsequently proved them to be somewhat pessimistic. This latest Review published by The Economic and Social Research Institute covers the period to 2005. This publication is unique in presenting a comprehensive forecast for the Irish economy over an extended period and it benefits from the wide range of research carried out in the ESRI. The analysis highlights a number of strategic issues which are crucial for the long-term development of the economy, issues which are often ignored in the debate on economic policy in Ireland.
