On a seasonally adjusted basis, estimates indicate that Gross Value Added (GVA) in volume terms in the non-MNE dominated sectors of the economy fell by 1.8% for the second quarter of 2024, largely driven by contractions in the Finance & Insurance sector and Professional & Administrative services sector of 9.8% and 2.9% quarter-on-quarter respectively. GVA for the Foreign-owned MNE dominated sector decreased by 0.1% over the same period driven by declines in the Industry (excluding Construction) sector of 0.7% and of 0.9% in the Information & Communication sector quarter-on-quarter.

Real GVA for the total economy amounted to €112.3 billion in the Q2 2024 reference period, with GVA for MNE dominated sectors representing approximately 43.9% of Total GVA while GVA for the non-MNE dominated sectors represented approximately 56.1% of the total.

Looking at half yearly results for 2024 compared with H1 2023, the MNE dominated sectors contracted by 12.3% over the six-month period while the Domestic-facing sectors grew by 2.0%.

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.
