For this episode of Inside Business, host Ciarán Hancock is joined by a panel of experts to discuss the major stories of 2025.
A busy year in markets was dominated by US president Donald Trump’s threats to impose huge tariffs on the United States’ trading partners, including Ireland.
Ireland’s housing crisis showed no sign of improvement with completions trending well below Government targets.
And another record-breaking year for corporate tax receipts, coupled with Ireland's gross domestic product (GDP) growing exceptionally by over 10%, meant that the economy is in rude health as we head into 2026.
