The Irish economy and financial system face a wide range of possible future paths. However, if the worst case scenario of a hard Brexit does not emerge, the economy is expanding strongly and as it moves towards full capacity there is a risk that the continued strong expansion could give rise to overheating pressures. This range of possibilities poses challenges for policy-makers. In her keynote address, Deputy Governor Donnery addresses how domestic macro-financial policy needs to promote sufficient resilience to withstand the implications of these different outcomes.
