Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department’s Statement of Strategy reflects the national priorities outlined in the Programme for Government (PfG). In this regard, the Department’s mission is to lead in the achievement of the Government’s economic, fiscal and financial policy goals. In delivering this mission, the Department’s current Statement of Strategy 2026-2027 focuses on the role the Department plays in delivering the following priorities:
* Balanced, sustainable economic growth
* Sound public finances
* Well-regulated, sustainable banking and financial sector
* International leadership in economic, fiscal and financial decision making
* Promoting environmentally sustainable economic progress
* An organisation with a shared sense of purpose where our people are valued, supported and empowered to deliver our strategy
I wish to advise the Deputy that each of the individual business areas in my Department are responsible for the commitments which fall under their policy remit. Regular updates on each of the commitments are provided to the Corporate Office within my Department as part of business planning and reporting.
The progress made by my Department in delivering on the Statement of Strategy, including the implementation of key Programme for Government commitments, is also captured in Annual Reports which are available on gov.ie.
