フィナンシャルタイムズ紙:アイルランド財政諮問理事会、景気回復に流されず確固たる財政再建策を採用することを政府に要請


Default: Change to:


The Irish Fiscal Advisory Council has warned the Irish government that it should take a tough fiscal stance over the coming year and not get caught up in the euphoria of the strong economic growth figures.


The Irish government should maintain a tight fiscal stance in next year’s budget and not allow euphoria over a surge in economic growth in recent months to distract it from medium-term targets it is obliged to meet, the country’s fiscal watchdog has warned.

In a stance that represents a dash of cold water on last week’s data showing that Ireland returned to a Celtic Tiger-era growth rate of nearly 8 per cent in the second quarter of this year, the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council said that, with government spending still outpacing revenue by €7bn and the country’s debt at 120 per cent of gross domestic product, the overall fiscal position was too weak to change course now.
