    Study Notes

    Weakening Euro Impacts on Irish Economy

    • A weaker euro makes eurozone exports cheaper in other countries, increasing demand and potentially leading to higher employment in exporting firms.
    • Foreign imports become more expensive, resulting in decreased demand, but essential raw materials still need to be imported, increasing production costs for Irish firms.
    • Tourism in Ireland from foreign countries increases as a weaker euro makes holidays cheaper for tourists, for example, Americans get more value for their dollars.
    • External debt becomes more expensive to repay as the euro depreciates, making it costlier to repay loans in foreign currencies.
    • A weakening currency can stimulate economic growth through boosted exports and tourism, but also risks inflation due to higher import prices.
