Irish & International Economic Outlook 2026 – Jim Power
In Jim’s 2026 outlook, he gets right to the point—Ireland’s economy has stayed strong thanks to steady job growth and people keeping up their spending, even as the world around us feels shaky.
But there are some real concerns ahead. Jim doesn’t sugarcoat the risks: tensions abroad, especially in big economies, could spill over here. He flags trade tariffs and the ongoing political wrangling worldwide as things that could hit our exports and, by extension, our economy and our clients’ disposable incomes, and investments. Rising interest rates and unpredictable inflation are also on the radar.
As always, Jim delivers a practical, no-nonsense look at where Ireland stands and what could shake things up in 2026. Share it with your clients to help them understand both the strengths we can count on and the challenges we shouldn’t ignore.
