Gross Value Added (GVA) at constant (2024) basic prices for the MNE dominated sectors of the economy rose by 14.5% between 2024 and 2025. The non-MNE dominated sectors grew by 2.2% over the same period, resulting in an overall expansion of 8.1%.

Real GVA for the total economy was just over €578 billion in the 2025 reference period, with GVA for MNE dominated sectors contributing approximately €291 billion while GVA for the non-MNE dominated sectors was approximately €287 billion.

Of the larger non-MNE dominated sectors, there were notable increases in Administrative & Support Service Activities (+10.1%), Construction (+7.2%), Real Estate Activities (+4.9%) and Agriculture, Forestry & Fishing (+3.6%).

The share of total GVA at constant prices accounted for by the foreign-owned MNE dominated sectors stood at 50.4% in 2025, an increase from 47.6% in 2024 (see Table 5.3).

Table 5.2 Gross Value Added of Foreign-owned MNE dominated sectors and Other sectors at Constant Basic Prices (chain-linked annually and referenced to year 2024)

Table 5.3 Composition of Foreign-owned multinational enterprise dominated sectors and Other sectors

Table 5.4 provides gross value added (GVA) at basic prices in current terms for 37 sectors of the economy according to the NACE Rev. 2 classification system. It provides more detail than that of the 10 economic sectors shown in Table 3.4. Table 5.4 provides valuations of GVA for the sectors at 'basic prices', in line with the valuation used in Tables 3.3 and 3.4. 'Basic prices' is the valuation used in EU publications and differs from 'factor cost' in that overhead taxes (such as rates) are included in the basic prices valuations while overhead subsidies are excluded.

Table 5.5 provides gross value added at constant prices (chain linked and referenced to 2024) for 37 sectors of the economy. The same sectors are used as in Table 5.4 which is at current prices. The table provides a detailed breakdown of real growth in the constituent sectors of the economy. It aligns with Table 3.6 (the 10 sector breakdown) but provides a greater level of detail. The valuation used in Table 5.5 (as in Table 5.4) is 'basic prices'.
