Medidas Irlanda..
Perdonad que está en inglés...
Bottom line: Another ambitious and aggressive fiscal consolidation plan for Ireland, with the typical Irish recipe of 1/3 tax increases and 2/3 expenditure cuts. The adjustment remains front-loaded with €6bn for 2011 and the remaining €9bn over the 2012/14 period, in line with earlier suggestions. Sifting through the headlines, this four-year plan ticks all the right boxes. I suspect that the EU/IMF representatives will also essentially reach the same conclusion except for a lack of balance in the sectors of the economy that will be ask to contribute to the adjustment.
I am worried however that this could be overkill for households. The government has deflected any pressure to increase the 12.5% corporate tax rate for the time being. Although described a "confidence building measure by the prime minister, this latest plan could be anything but for households. I suspect that these measures will do very little to reverse the downtrend in consumer confidence that has been a feature for the past three months. The VAT rate will increase from 21% in 2010 to 23% by 2014 and the minimum wage will be cut, some tax breaks will be abolished or curtailed and social transfers will be cut further. In addition, the number of public sector employees will be reduced by 24,750 compared to 2007 levels. If this wasn't enough, public sector pay will be cut by an extra 10% and retirement benefits curtailed for new employees.
Ireland is betting everything on export-led recovery. Let's hope that the resilience of core Europe, and the encouraging rebound in the UK, can continue on the same upward trajectory in coming quarters.
