Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Macroeconomic Forecasting: Discussion with Department of Finance

7:40 pm

Mr. John McCarthy:

All the investment numbers on the public capital front are supplied to us by our colleagues in our sister Department, Public Expenditure and Reform. These are all incorporated into the analysis but I do not have the exact figures in front of me at that micro level of detail. They are, so to speak, exogenous inputs that are supplied to us that we take at face value and input them into the model.
