Trade overview

Ireland is an EU member state and a significant hub for multinational corporations, particularly in pharmaceuticals, technology, and financial services, making it one of Europe's largest per-capita exporters. Ireland remains within the EU single market and customs union, and the Windsor Framework governs the unique trade arrangements between Ireland and Northern Ireland post-Brexit. Its open, export-oriented economy is closely integrated with both EU and US trade flows.
