The same behaviour likely for US Pharma MNCs in Ireland, right?

So here is a forecast, which can be tested against subsequent data. Swiss pharma companies will reduce the customs value of their goods exports (lowering Swiss export and US imports), do more fill and finish in the US and increase their service exports to the US ...

Hmm. Yes Bligh did propose an extension of the North Wall (i.e. from near the Point Depot), but I read that his idea was not used. Instead the North Bull Wall was built extending from Clontarf. historyireland.com/captain-bligh-…

The supply chains for US pharmaceutical companies looking to supply the US market while not paying US tax (at 21%) do increasingly run through Ireland. US data is clear here.

I know this is hard for many Americans to accept but the global supply chains of pharma products don't revolve around the US. Last year only 40% of pharma & chemical exports from Ireland went to the US. Globalisation & tax inversions aren't going away. x.com/thomas_eilveis…



I fully agree. Here’s my take on how to make such comparisons. If you start with GDP at PPP you need to make a further adjustment to compare economic sizes. The result is to shrink China and India somewhat, making China approximately the same size as US. piie.com/publications/p…

And one sector provides an exception to the lackluster 2019-2024 sectoral real earnings growth in Ireland. It's the IT sector), already with relatively high weekly earnings and still racing ahead as it has for many years. More on bluesky. Raw data from cso.ie.

If it's economics that drives voting in general elections, the question for Ireland today is whether it's microeconomics or macro. These graphs quantify the contrast between rocketing aggregate employment growth and below peak average real earnings.
