Welcome to the June 2023 issue of the Dublin Economic Monitor

The Dublin Economic Monitor is a joint initiative on behalf of the four Dublin Local Authorities, and is designed to be of interest to those living and doing business in Dublin or considering locating here. The report is produced by Grant Thornton with inputs from S&P Global and MasterCard. There are two special feature articles this quarter. The first is from Anthony Foley, Associate Professor Emeritus at DCU, and focusses on FDI and the importance of Dublin's competitiveness. The second article is by Jonathan Wildsmith, Production Manager, fDi Markets. It covers a new dataset which is incorporated in this issue of the Monitor and sets out Dublin’s FDI performance relative to a number of other European cities.

The Monitor is divided into the following themes for Dublin:
