Trading partner performance is improving

   Key Points
    US – benefitting from a
     tighter labour market
     and lower energy prices
     despite stronger dollar
    UK – solid recovery
     driven by domestic
     demand and lower oil
     prices
    Euro area – supported
     by lower oil prices,
     quantitative easing and
     euro depreciation
    Euro area, US and UK
     combined represent
     about two-thirds of Irish
     exports

Currency effect is positive

   Key Points
    Euro has declined
     considerably over the last year
     against USD and sterling
    This is the first-round impact of
     ECB’s quantitative easing
     programme
    Ireland’s nominal effective
     exchange rate has fallen
     considerably, boosting
     competitiveness
    Will boost exports as Ireland
     trades disproportionately with
     the UK and US

    Abercrombie. Prime buildings as important as prime location

    impact likely to be greater in middle market
   As more new homes are completed strong demand from occupiers for the
    stronger retail parks in the larger urban centres.
