Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Engagement on Overall Fiscal Position: Discussion

2:00 pm

Mr. Derek Moran:

It will be published in June, and we will be looking at producing budgetary aggregates using that as well as the more traditional GDP data to give a cleaner view in terms of taking some of that distortionary effect out of it. It is particularly important in terms of other countries looking in and trying to get a handle on the Irish economy, which structurally may be different from other economies with which they are familiar. Does Mr. McCarthy want to add anything to that?
