Date: 2020-02-06

Christopher Sibley, from the Central Statistics Office, details the finanacing of foreign and domestic activity as presented in the Institutional Sector Accounts 2018 and explores the impact of the new analysis on some key macroeconomic indicators.

The Sector Accounts and Globalisation seminar examined the annual Institutional Sector Accounts 2018, published in November 2019, and what they tell us about globalisation in Ireland. The 2018 accounts provide new analysis on foreign and domestic corporations, from their output and value added down to their balance sheets. Building on the 2018 CSO seminar on Globalisation in Ireland, where modified indicators (such as GNI*) and additional detail on the sectors of the Irish economy were discussed, this seminar explored important new detail available in Ireland's Institutional Sector Accounts.
