Irlanda es una economía dual

Resumen

En la propuesta de Presupuestos del Estado para 2023 las autoridades irlandesas estiman un PIB (producto interior bruto) para 2022 de 500 mm (miles de millones) de euros. Esto implica un PIB per cápita de casi 100.000 euros. Sin embargo, su cuadro macroeconómico y las ratios de los saldos de balanza de pagos y cuentas públicas utilizan la RNB^{m _}renta nacional bruta, excluidas las actividades de las empresas multinacionales (EM) domiciliadas en Irlanda-. La RNB^m se estima en 261mm de euros para 2022, es decir un 52 % del PIB. La RNB^m representa el verdadero tamaño de la economía doméstica o indígena irlandesa, y a ella hay que referir el crecimiento de la economía, su comparación con otros países, los saldos de la balanza de pagos y el endeudamiento público y externo. Irlanda es una economía dual. El sector de capital extranjero apenas tiene vínculos con la economía, real y financiera domésticas, y su producción de bienes y servicios se realiza, en un porcentaje muy alto, fuera de Irlanda.
