According to the Ministry of Commerce website citing a report from the Irish Independent, Ireland's stock market composite index has risen by 8.09% since 2014, outperforming major European stock indices in the UK, Germany, and France, as well as the New York S&P 500 index, making it one of the best-performing stock markets globally.
Analysts believe that while major world stock markets have been impacted by the recent international instability caused by the situation in Ukraine, the performance of the Irish stock market in this context demonstrates a significant increase in investor confidence in the Irish economy.
