爱尔兰经济在2025年第一季度环比增长7.4%,低于9.7%的第二次估计,但与上一季度修正后的4.5%的扩张相比大幅加速。尽管向下修正,但这标志着自2021年第一季度以来最快的增长速度,主要是由于跨国公司在唐纳德·特朗普总统征收新的美国关税之前提前装载货物,导致出口激增。扩张集中在跨国公司主导的行业,外国公司的产出增长了13.6%。全球化的工业部门增长了16.5%,而信息和通信部门的增长温和,为0.5%。相比之下,国内经济增长较为温和,为2.0%,资本投资激增49.1%。个人消费仅微涨0.3%,政府支出下降1.3%。与此同时,国民生产总值下降了7.2%,降幅比早先估计的2.1%更大。
Ireland’s economy grew by 7.4% quarter-on-quarter in Q1 2025, falling short of the second estimate of 9.7%, but accelerating sharply from a revised 4.5% expansion in the previous quarter. Despite the downward revision, it marked the fastest pace of growth since Q1 2021, driven largely by a surge in exports as multinational firms front-loaded shipments ahead of new US tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. The expansion was concentrated in multinational-dominated sectors, with output from foreign-based companies rising 13.6%. The globalized industry sector jumped 16.5%, while growth in information and communication was modest at 0.5%. In contrast, the domestic economy grew by a more moderate 2.0%, supported by a 49.1% spike in capital investment. Personal consumption edged up just 0.3%, and government spending fell by 1.3%. Meanwhile, GNP declined by 7.2%, a steeper drop than the earlier estimate of 2.1%.
