Post-Programme Surveillance Report. Ireland, Spring 2016

European Economy Institutional Papers are important reports and communications from the European Commission to the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament on the economy and economic developments.

Post-programme surveillance (PPS) aims to assess the economic, fiscal and financial conditions with the ultimate goal to monitor the repayment capacity of a country that has received financial assistance. Staff from the European Commission (EC), in liaison with the European Central Bank (ECB), undertook the fifth Post-Programme Surveillance (PPS) review mission for Ireland from 7 to 10 June 2016. The PPS mission includes specific monitoring under the Macroeconomic Imbalance Procedure (MIP).
