Statistician's Comment

The Central Statistics Office (CSO) has today (11 November 2022) released Estimates of the Capital Stock of Fixed Assets 2021.

Commenting on the results, Oisín Mangan, Statistician in the National Accounts Integration section, said:

“The value of the stock of produced assets, which largely comprises buildings, transport equipment, other Machinery & Equipment, and Research & Development (R&D), has increased by 2.8% between 2020 and 2021 to €1.2 trillion.

The value of the net stock of Dwellings, excluding land, has increased by 10.7% to €329bn and the net stock of other Machinery & Equipment has grown by 10.3% to €39bn.

Both the Manufacturing (-7.2%) and Information & Communication (-2.3%) sectors saw a decrease in value of their net stock driven by a decrease in R&D related assets. The total net stock of R&D assets has decreased by 8.3% to €382bn.”
