Review of funds sector
Ireland has a leading position in the investment funds and asset management industry globally. The sector is a significant employer, supporting almost 20,000 jobs, with close to half of these located outside of Dublin.
Last year my department established a Funds Review Team and began a detailed forward-looking review of the Funds sector with a view to safeguarding Ireland’s leading position in the investment funds and asset management industry.
I recently received their report, which I intend to bring to Government shortly and to publish thereafter. Following consideration of the findings, I will then outline the next steps.
