Bulletin 25-1 Developments in Ireland's National Productivity Statistics
The National Competitiveness and Productivity Council is pleased to publish Bulletin 25-1 Developments in Ireland's National Productivity Statistics which provides an overview of the latest statistics published by the CSO (April 2025) and focuses particularly on productivity trends in Ireland's domestic sectors.
Developments in labour productivity are critical to Ireland’s international competitiveness position, and to sustainable growth and improvements in living standards, which are at the centre of the Council’s Productivity and Competitiveness Framework. For this reason, the Council actively reviews the CSO’s Productivity in Ireland publication and welcomes the CSO’s continued investment in productivity statistics.
The latest data show Irish labour productivity in 2023 had fallen for the first time in seven years, dropping marginally below the 2021 level. This was driven by developments in the foreign-dominated sector – which suffered a sharp decline – while domestic-sector productivity remained flat.
