How Ireland managed to keep investment flowing during the tough times - The Conversation

Description

The European business environment might remain fragile, but recent figures illustrate how the Republic of Ireland continues to punch above its weight when it comes to attracting investment from overseas. US multinational firms have been the chief contributors to this success and since 2008 after the global financial crisis, corporate America’s investment has been five times larger than their investment in China and 16 times greater than that in India. It is worth noting too that US investment remains below pre-crisis levels in other EU countries such as Germany, Spain and France.
