Economy grew strongly before Covid-19; unemployment peaked in April as workers begin to return

U rate uncertain**; more returned to work in June Robust growth in run up to lockdown

Source: CSO * Underlying series is modified final domestic demand (excludes inventories) ** Whether those on government income supports are unemployed is statistically debatable. Some will have left the labour force, others are just temporarily furloughed. August’s Q2 labour force survey will illuminate.

Ireland used 2014-19 growth to create fiscal room and improve debt sustainability

Improved debt position allows for fiscal policy to act Debt-to-GNI* (99% 2019f, from 166% peak) Debt-to-GG Revenue (233% 2019, from 353%) Average interest rate (2.2% 2019, from 5.1%) Debt-to-GDP^ (59% 2019, from 120%) Debt fell to 99% of national income but will reverse Six years of primary surplus; run to end in 2020

^ due to GDP distortions, Debt to GDP is not representative for Ireland, we suggest using other measures listed.

Labour market highlights the stark Covid-19 impact but uncertainty about exact numbers as of now

True unemployment rate is uncertain: Covid- 19 adjusted rate 22.5%* down from 28.2% 820K getting income supports - unclear how many would be considered unemployed

Large caveat: CSO has urged caution

  • n Covid-19 data. The true labour

force number is unknown – the labour force survey for Q2 will be key

Source: CSO, Department of Social Protection, NTMA calculations * The CSO have estimated the upper bound of the unemployment rate at 22.5% in June. There is no

  • fficial data on how employment has been affected yet. The next labour force survey may answer

questions about what constitutes being employed and whether those losing jobs will leave the labour

  • market. Thus we give a range of outcomes, as we cannot be accurate now.

Note: CSO define those on wage subsidy scheme as employed

Initial fiscal response of €13bn (6.5% of GNI*) is considerable; more could be announced in July

€4.8bn bn for income support measures (extended to August – cost will increase):

1.

A temporary wage subsidy scheme (TWSS) has been introduced which pays 70-85% of an employee’s income up to €410p/w. This equates to any salary below €38,000.

 Subsidy is for businesses with >20% reduction in turnover and keeps employee on the books.  Most furloughed salaries are below €38,000; average payment close to €350 p/w more likely.

2.

The pandemic unemployment payment (PUP) for employees (and self-employed) has been amended to €200 or €350 p/w depending on previous wage level. A sick leave payment for actual Covid-19 diagnosis or self isolation is available and is €350 p/w. €2bn bn for increased health spending to combat Covid-19. €6.5bn bn for business supports: Some of these supports need to be legislated for in coming weeks.

1.

A €10,000 restart grant for micro and small businesses;

2.

A three month commercial rates waiver for impacted businesses;

3.

A €2 billion Pandemic Stabilisation and Recovery Fund within the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF), which will make capital available to medium and large enterprises on commercial terms;

4.

A €2 billion COVID-19 Credit Guarantee Scheme to support lending to SMEs;

5.

The ‘warehousing’ of tax liabilities for a period of twelve months Other measures enacted include support for bank borrowers, reducing the CBI’s Countercyclical Capital Buffer, deferrals on tax payments including VAT & stamp duty, temporary rent freezes and temporary ban on evictions.

  • Pillar Two - the basic idea is to introduce a

minimum tax rate with the aim of reducing incentives to shift profits.

  • Where income is not taxed to the minimum level,

there would an “income inclusion rule” which

  • perates as a ‘top-up’ to achieve the minimum

rate of tax.

  • The obvious questions arise:
  • what is the appropriate minimum tax rate?
  • who will get the ‘top-up’ payment?
  • Is the minimum rate taxed at a global (firm)

level or on a country-by-country basis?

  • These questions are as yet unanswered. If the

minimum rate agreed is greater than the 12.5% rate that Ireland levies, it might erode this country’s comparative advantage.

  • The OECD has proposed further corporate tax

reform - a BEPS 2.0.

  • BEPS 2.0 looks at two pillars. The first pillar

focuses on proposals that would re-allocate taxing rights between jurisdictions where assets are held and the markets where user/consumers are

  • based. Non-routine profits could - to some -

degree be taxed where customers reside.

  • Under such a proposal, a proportion of profits

would be re- allocated from small countries to large countries. Such a proposal will reduce Ireland’s corporation tax base but it is impossible to predict the size of the impact.

  • Nothing has been decided as of yet. There are

disagreements across countries. OECD original deadline of end 2020 is unlikely to be met. Pillar One : proposal to re-allocate taxing rights on non-routine profits Pillar Two: proposal for minimum global tax

OECD’s BEPS 2.0 process could impact the business tax landscape globally – agreement might be delayed

slide-55

  • The withdrawal agreement of 2019 meant that the transition period started in 2020. It will finish at the end
  • f the year.
  • The UK government has stated its intention to seek a free-trade arrangement for the long term. This is a

more distant relationship than previously argued for by the UK side.

  • The upshot is that the trading relationship will be diverging more, making negotiations difficult.
  • Points of contention include:

1.

Level playing field

2.

“Fisheries for financial services”

3.

ECJ role in new relationship

  • There is less than six months to negotiate what normally takes several years. A partial trade deal is possible.
  • Extending the transition period has been formally rejected by the UK government.
  • Hard Brexit estimates suggest the economic hit to Ireland would between 2-6% over the short term.
  • Risk of hard Brexit has increased given transition period was not extended

  • Northern Ireland will remain within the UK Customs Union but will abide by EU Customs Union rules – dual

membership for NI.

  • No hard border on the island of Ireland: the customs border will be in the Irish sea. Goods crossing from

ROI to NI will not require checks, but goods going to UK will.

  • Complex arrangements will be necessary to differentiate between goods going to NI and those travelling

through NI to UK or vice versa. Customs checks at ports, VAT and tariff rebates and alignment of regulations will be needed.

  • All of this is backed by a complex consent mechanism, which allows Stormont to opt-out under simple

majority at certain times. Main points of Withdrawal Agreement

Withdrawal Agreement in 2019 helped to solve Northern Ireland border issue; economic issues remain

Negatives of hard Brexit outweigh positives in short-term, although opportunities may appear longer term

Sh Short rt term erm

  • Major trade disruption from tariffs, customs

checks and documentation (red tape)

  • Regions suffer severe recession in agriculture and

UK-focused manufacturing; tourism might suffer

  • Confidence shock to business and households
  • Liquidity may dry up in property market
  • Fiscal impacts are likely given need to support

regions Long term erm

  • Lower consumer spending thanks to higher

inflation when tariffs dominate the FX benefit

  • Political economy cost (loss of ally in the EU)

Sh Short rt term erm

  • Cheaper domestic food prices

Long term erm

  • Fiscal help from Europe is likely; selective

temporary waiving of State Aid rules?

  • FDI influx from UK, as multinationals avoid

turmoil; UK’s reputation might be tarnished

  • Financial services (passporting lost by UK)
  • Other multinationals - especially

IT and business services

  • Commercial property occupancy could rise; there

may also be an influx of well paid workers

  • Gradual partial trade recovery
  • Irish companies focused on Britain may steal

EU market share from British competitors

  • Import substitution (especially in food)

Product % of IE-UK goods exports Comment on tariff imposed under UK schedule Pharmaceutical products 16.9% Almost all pharma products are tariff free Machinery and mechanical appliances 8.1% A lot of this category remains duty free. Meat and edible offal 7.7% High customs duties are imposed on Meat (6-16% + £34- £2313 per 100kg) Dairy produce, birds eggs, natural honey, edible products 5.6% High customs duties are imposed on Dairy (6-16%+£14- 185 per 100kg) Electrical machinery and equipment 4.8% A lot of this category remains duty free. Organic chemicals 4.3% Tariffs on Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (6%) Plastics and articles thereof 3.8% Tariff rates increase but are lower than the current EU MFN rates.

  • Ireland could be a beneficiary from displaced FDI.

The chief areas of interest are  Financial services  Business services  IT/ new media.

  • Dublin is primarily competing with Frankfurt,

Paris, Luxembourg and Amsterdam for financial services.

  • Ireland’s FDI opportunity will depend on the
  • utcome of post-exit trade negotiations. The UK

(City of London) is almost certain to lose its EU passporting rights on exit, so there may be more

Net Interest Margin Profit before Tax

Ireland’s pillar banks in relative good shape to weather Covid-19 storm

  • Banks profitable before Covid-19: income, cost and balance sheet metrics much improved.
  • Interest rates on mortgages and to SMEs are still high compared to EU thanks to legacy issues and the

slow judicial process in accessing collateral.

  • An IPO of AIB stock (28.8%) occurred in June 2017. This returned c. €3.4bn to the Irish Exchequer to be

used for debt reduction. Further disposal of banking assets unlikely in the short term given valuations

  • Irish banks had paid dividends in recent years.

The European Commission’s ruling on Apple’s tax affairs does not change the NTMA’s funding plans

  • The EC has ruled that Ireland illegally provided State aid of up to €13bn, plus interest to Apple. This

figure is based on the tax foregone as a result of a historic provision in Ireland’s tax code. This was closed on December 31st 2014.

  • Thi

his s case has nothing to do with Ireland’s corporate tax rate. In its press release the EC stated: “This decision does not call into question Ireland’s general tax system or its corporate tax rate”.

  • App

pple is is ap appealing the the rulin ruling, g, as as is is the the Iris rish Govern rnment.

  • t. This process could be lengthy. Pending the
  • utcome of the appeal, Apple has paid approximately €13bn plus EU interest (c. €2bn) into an escrow

fund.

  • Bank of New York Mellon has been selected for the provision of escrow agency and custodian services

to hold and administer the fund.

  • Amundi, BlackRock Investment Management (UK) Limited and Goldman Sachs Asset Management

International have been selected for the provision of investment management services for the fund.

  • As the funds will be held in escrow pending the outcome of the appeal, the

the NTM NTMA has has mad ade no no al allowance for

  • r these

these funds. s.

GNI* is a better measure of underlying economic activity than GDP/GNP; best as a level rather than a growth metric

  • GDP headline numbers do not reflect the “true”

growth of Ireland’s income due to MNCs.

  • Reasons for 2015-20 MNC distortions:
  • Re-domiciling/inversions of several

multinational companies

  • The “onshoring” of IP assets into Ireland

by multinationals

  • The movement of aircraft leasing assets

in Ireland.

  • By modifying GNI to take account of these factors,

GNI* gives us a better understanding of the underlying economy.
