Written Answers. - GNP/GDP Statistics.

Tony Gregory

Ceist:

85 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Finance if he will outline the State's GNP and GDP for each year since 1975; the way in which the ratio between the two figures compare with those of other EC countries in this period; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The information requested by the Deputy is set out in a table which I propose to have circulated in the Official Report. Information in respect of all EC countries is not available for 1989, so that 1988 is the latest year for which complete data are available. For 1989 the official estimate of GNP for Ireland is £20,879 and £23,919 for GDP, giving a ratio of 87.3 per cent.
