Fiscal Assessment Report 2013: Discussion with Irish Fiscal Advisory Council
3:50 pm
Professor Alan Barrett:
The CSO published the 0.9% figure in April. It is always a bizarre situation in which one forecasts something which happened previously. The correct figure is 0.9% because it is not a forecast but the actual outturn based on CSO data. Having said that, it can be revised. It is as good as it gets for now.
