Ireland for Finance is a whole-of-Government strategy for the development of the international financial services sector in Ireland. In line with Programme for Government commitments, the Department of Finance is preparing a new Ireland for Finance Strategy for the period 2026-2030.
Significant engagement and consultation is informing this work. A public consultation held in 2025 received 57 written submissions. This has been supplemented by significant input from a wide range of bilateral, national and international stakeholder engagements, including the standing quarterly Ireland for Finance Joint Committee forum.
While the new Ireland for Finance Strategy is still under development, the focus will be on maintaining and enhancing Ireland’s reputation as a global hub for financial services. Once the strategy has been finalised and subsequently approved by Government it will then be published. While no date has been set for publication, it is currently anticipated to happen before end of June 2026.
