Ireland is a small, modern,
trade-dependent economy with growth averaging a robust 8% in
1995-2002. The global slowdown, especially in the information
technology sector, pressed growth down to 2.1% in 2003. Agriculture,
once the most important sector, is now dwarfed by industry and
services. Industry accounts for 46% of GDP and about 80% of exports
and employs 28% of the labor force. Although exports remain the
primary engine for Ireland's growth, the economy has also benefited
from a rise in consumer spending, construction, and business
investment. Per capita GDP is 10% above that of the four big
European economies.
