On a seasonally adjusted basis, estimates indicate that Gross Value Added (GVA) in volume terms in the Foreign-owned MNE dominated sector rose by 6.2% for the second quarter of 2023, largely driven by an expansion in the Industry (excluding Construction) sector of 3.8% quarter-on-quarter. GVA for the non-MNE dominated sectors of the economy grew by 1.5% over the same period.

Real GVA for the total economy amounted to €115 billion in the Q2 2023 reference period, with GVA for MNE dominated sectors representing approximately 53.1% of Total GVA while GVA for the non-MNE dominated sectors represented approximately 46.9% of the total.

The classification of value added for the total economy between (a) the Foreign-owned MNE dominated sector and (b) the Other sector in Tables 6.2 and 6.3 is determined by business accounting turnover. Foreign-owned MNE dominated sectors are defined as those where MNE turnover on average exceeds 85% of the sector total. Economic activity classified to the Non-MNE dominated sector falls below this turnover threshold.

The main sectors dominated by MNEs in Ireland are:

Pharma and Chemical production
Computer, electronic and optical device manufacturing
Medical instrument production
Information & Communications, including software publishing

The combination of all remaining non-MNE dominated sectors provides an estimation of the value-added contribution of the domestic-facing side of the economy to the overall economy.
