The Economic and Social Research Institute estimated that Ireland's economy grew by 8.2% in 2019. Meanwhile, Ireland's GDP per capita has consistently ranked among the highest in the world, reaching $70,500 in 2019, ranking second in Europe.

 

Over the past four years, Ireland has been one of the best-performing economies in the EU. Furthermore, according to the latest economic forecasts from the European Commission, the Irish economy is expected to grow by 6% in 2021.

 

The Most Business-Friendly Country

 

Ireland has been named the "World's Best Country for Business" by Forbes for two consecutive years, ranking fourth globally and second in Europe for its business environment! Additionally, in the 2019 World Competitiveness Yearbook published by the IMD in Switzerland, Ireland ranked seventh.

 

Preferential Tax System

 

Ireland has one of the lowest tax rates in Europe, at just 12.5%. It is precisely this ultra-low tax rate that has attracted numerous well-known enterprises and high-tech talent.

 

Ireland is the world's largest exporter of computer software. Nine of the world's top ten pharmaceutical companies and eight of the world's top ten technology companies have established operations in Ireland. Ireland manages 50% of the world's leased aircraft. Over 50% of the world's renowned financial companies have a presence in Ireland. Eleven of the world's top thirteen medical device companies are located in Ireland.

In short, Ireland is a stable and competitive country. It is also one of the most diverse countries in the EU, with 17% of its population coming from abroad. Ireland is also very welcoming to immigrants, and in recent years, the popularity of Irish immigration has continued to rise.

 

Currently, for investment immigration to Ireland, by investing in a donation project recognized by the Irish government, you only need to donate 500,000 euros (group donations can be discounted to 400,000 euros) to apply for Irish residency status for the whole family.
