The Fall in GDP/GNP Thread

For Ireland, and anywhere. This is a thread to record the world economy stats, and for the record I hope this recession to be as mild as possible. Anyway. The independent. GNP down 5% this year.

Some good news at the end though -

Net exports, on the other hand, were up €2.1bn.

Or is it? It is net after all, maybe we are not spending on imports.

While GDP up 0.1%. (http://www.independent.ie/business/irish/experts-warn-downturn-will-only-get-worse-in-2009-1580530.html )

Further proof that this economy is heavily dependent on MNC's and construction related activity, lets hope the first crowd stays for all our sakes.
