* Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 12.3% in 2025 (See Editor’s Note below).
* Multinational-dominated sectors increased by 25.1% in 2025 with Domestic Sectors increasing by 0.9%.
* GDP fell by 3.8% in Quarter 4 (Q4) 2025, seasonally adjusted and compared with Q3 2025.
* Modified Domestic Demand (MDD), a broad measure of underlying domestic activity that covers personal, government, and investment spending, grew by 1.0% in Q4 2025 and was up 4.9% in the year.
* Personal spending on goods and services, a key measure of domestic economic activity, grew by 0.9% in Q4 2025 and was up 2.9% in the year.
Modified domestic demand is basically a measure that captures three things: 1) spending by Irish consumers, 2) government spending on goods and services, and 3) modified investment.
Gross national product (GNP) is the total value of all the final goods and services made by a nation’s economy in a specific time (usually a year). GNP is different from net national product, which considers depreciation and the consumption of capital.

People can (rightly) discount our GDP, but that MDD figure is booming.
