Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
397. Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Finance the current value of cash in circulation in Ireland; the value in circulation in each of the years from 2017 to 2021, inclusive; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41181/22]
View answerThe total cash in circulation in Ireland comprises the cash issued by the Central Bank of Ireland, as well as any other euro cash which has migrated into Ireland from other euro area countries, or out of Ireland to other countries.
On that basis it is not possible to provide data on the actual value of cash in circulation.
However, I have been informed by the Central Bank of Ireland that the current value of net issuance (issues by the CBI minus lodgments to the CBI), as at 20 July 2022 is €45,155.2m.
In addition, the net issuance figure for the end of each year 2017 to 2021 is as follows:
31.12.2017 €35,405.3m
31.12.2018 €36,923.9m
31.12.2019 €38,951.3m
31.12.2020 €41,948.9m
31.12.2021 €44,281.4m
20.07.2022 €45,155.2m
