Timeframe: 2017-2023
Country: Ireland
Published date: 2024
Note: The trade balance reflects the difference between the value of a country’s exports and imports of goods. This figure was calculated by TGM StatBox, using data from the World Trade Organization (WTO). A positive balance signals a surplus, while a negative one indicates a deficit.
Key Takeaways
Ireland’s trade balance of goods demonstrated a steady surplus throughout the period, increasing from 44,161.4 million USD in 2017 to a peak of 80,281.0 million USD in 2020, supported by strong exports in pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and ICT products. However, the surplus gradually narrowed to 62,433.8 million USD in 2023, reflecting stabilizing demand and rising import costs.

The trends emphasize Ireland’s reliance on high-value, export-oriented industries, which buffer its economy against external shocks. Nevertheless, the narrowing surplus highlights challenges in maintaining export growth amid global economic headwinds.
