This report provides a summary of the main findings of the 11th joint EC/IMF/ECB review mission, including an assessment of compliance with the programme conditionality, and an overview of challenges still faced by Ireland.
A joint EC/IMF/ECB mission visited Dublin during 9-18 July 2013 to conduct the eleventh review mission under the Economic Adjustment Programme. The mission found that programme implementation remains robust overall, even though domestic vulnerabilities and external risks remain important and will require ongoing commitment from the authorities to reforms under the programme and beyond.
This report by European Commission services provides a summary of the main findings of the mission, including an assessment of compliance with the programme conditionality, and an overview of challenges faced by Ireland ahead. The most important challenges highlighted concern the large government deficit and high public debt, the substantial level of non-performing loans on banks' balance sheets and the high level of unemployment. The document contains the updated programme documents in the annex.
The completion of the 11th review prepares the release of €2.3 billion from the EFSF, €0.8 billion from the IMF, and a combined €0.25 billion from Sweden and Denmark. This will bring the total amount authorised for disbursement under the programme to 97.9 per cent of the overall international assistance of €67.5 billion.
