Ireland is an open economy (3rd on the Index of Economic Freedom), [27] and ranks first for high-value foreign direct investment (FDI) flows. [28] In the global GDP per capita tables, Ireland ranks 2nd of 192 in the IMF table and 4th of 187 in the World Bank ranking. [29] [30] Social expenditure stood at roughly 13.4% of GDP in 2024.
Distortion of Ireland's GDP. Ireland's GDP is artificially inflated by the BEPS flows of Ireland's Multinational tax schemes. [4] In 2018, Eurostat found 25% of Ireland's 2010-14 GDP was BEPS flows (no taxable impact).

In 2017 Dublin ranked 1st in Ireland by disposable income per person, at 110% of the State average.
