The classification of value added for the total economy between (a) the Foreign-owned MNE dominated sector and (b) the Other sector in Tables 6.2 and 6.3 is determined by business accounting turnover. Foreign-owned MNE dominated sectors are defined as those where MNE turnover on average exceeds 85% of the sector total. Economic activity classified to the Non-MNE dominated sector falls below this turnover threshold.
The main sectors dominated by MNEs in Ireland are:
The combination of all remaining non-MNE dominated sectors provides an estimation of the value-added contribution of the domestic-facing side of the economy to the overall economy.
