Irish government debt falls for the first time since just after Ireland exited its post-financial crash bailout but still stands at €225bn - or €43,915 for each main, woman and child in the State

The decline last year was the first since 2019 and the largest since 2014, a year after the State exited an international bailout, NTMA chief executive Frank O’Connor said at the launch of the agency’s annual report for 2022. “Our pre-funding strategy means that we have over €25 billion in cash and liquid assets at the half year point, which reduces the requirement for borrowing at higher rates in the coming years,” the NTMA said.
The NTMA said on Monday that it will hold only one more bond auction in 2023, signalling that it will finish off at the lower end of its fundraising target range as the Government’s projected budget surplus has improved since late last year.
