Irish Finance Minister Michael McGrath announced on Tuesday that the government plans to support the Future Ireland fund with an annual contribution of €4.3 billion, or 0.8% of nominal GDP, from 2024 to 2035. The Financial Times reports that the fund may be utilized for health care and pensions, as well as decarbonization and digitization projects.
If the government's resources yield an approximate 4% annual return on investment, it anticipates this fund to reach about €100 billion by 2035.
The Irish government intends to invest €2 billion annually through 2030 inclusive on infrastructure and climate projects through the second fund.
