KBC Bank and the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Ireland recently released the results of the Ireland Business Sentiment Survey for early 2012. The survey indicates that the Irish business community generally believes the current business environment in Ireland is at its best level since the end of 2007. Recently, there have been signs of stability in Ireland's employment rate, with the number of new jobs created essentially matching the number of job losses for the first time in four years. The survey found that the Irish business community is optimistic about the recovery of economic activity, with most companies predicting that the Irish economy should be able to recover within three years, and believing that the degree and breadth of the recovery will exceed expectations.
The Central Statistics Office of Ireland recently stated that if the Irish economy continues to grow, it will be unable to maintain a growth rate of 3% to 5% relying solely on its domestic workforce. Therefore, Ireland will need 50,000 immigrants annually over the next 12 years. Currently, Ireland receives 50,000 immigrants per year, while 20,000 people emigrate, resulting in a net migration of 30,000. The Central Statistics Office also noted that even if the number of immigrants from new EU member states remains high in the coming years, the birth rates in those countries are lower than in Ireland, so it cannot be expected that Eastern European countries will solve Ireland's labor shortage; thus, Ireland's immigrants will likely come from countries outside the European Union. Therefore, both in terms of Ireland's domestic needs and its investment environment, now is an excellent time for investment immigration to Ireland. Worldway Immigration is now officially accepting applications from investors for Irish investment immigration. You can learn more details about immigrating to Ireland through Worldway.
