Brexit would be “manageable” for Ireland – Moody’s

Ratings agency Moody’s has downplayed the risk of a Brexit to Ireland’s economy.

It said that though there would be negative effects, these would be “manageable”.

“Ireland will continue to grow at above-trend rates over the next two to three years, on account of strong and sustained competitiveness gains and the large and expanding presence of high value-added multinational firms that have driven recent increases in exports,” Moody’s said.

The comments were made as Moody’s lifted Ireland’s credit rating to A3 – the seventh-highest rating it gives.

It said it was comfortable that Ireland’s budget deficit would fall after the formation of the new minority government.
