No wonder some commentators refer to booming Ireland as Europe's Tiger economy

Article Abstract:

The economy of Ireland has enjoyed rapid growth over recent years. It is set to expand by at least 6% in 1997, while inflation is no higher than in the UK. Growth has been particularly boosted by overseas investment, with investors being attracted by low wage costs. The Irish Stock Exchange has expanded in line with the country's economy, with total market capitalization having expanded 12-fold since 1987 to around 25 billion Irish punts.
