Irish Budget 2013 – Infographic

Today another tough budget has been announced for 2013 by Minister for Finance, Michael Noonan and Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Brendan Howlin. It’s a tough budget trying to get a grip on the country’s finances aiming to reign in Government spending and increase taxes to attempt to balance our books. There’s still a considerable deficit running at about 8.2% of GDP but overall as a nation we’re in much better shape than just a few years ago with regards to our finances. If you focus on other metrics such as unemployment rate you will see they tell a different story that show we’re still in bad shape, so it’s important to understand the context this budget was made in.
