Foreign Direct Investment – Ireland Increases Its Competitive Edge

Published in our International Business Update November 2011

The Eurozone has not received much positive economic publicity in the international press recently. Despite this perception of crisis, Ireland's ever increasing competitiveness, allied to its status as an international centre of excellence, is driving its recovery and ensuring that the country remains the location of choice for multinational investment.

The Irish economy has made great strides, thanks in large part to significant improvements in its competitiveness, boosting the confidence of the international business community. However, in order to maintain attractiveness, Ireland must continue to benchmark itself globally and thereby remain a competitive destination for investment.
