Overview
Ireland's remittances received stood at $788.5M in 2025, a rise of +$132.1M from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $788.5M by 2025. Ireland ranked 103rd globally.
Ireland’s remittances received have risen sharply over the 36‑year series, climbing from 285,673,553.50 in 1990 to a record 788,548,636.28 in 2025, the highest level observed and the 103rd largest globally. The upward trajectory was interrupted by a pronounced trough of 179,854,619.62 in 2021, reflecting the impact of pandemic‑related migration disruptions, before rebounding to the all‑time peak two years later. Ireland’s 2025 inflow is comparable to peer Finland’s 799,590,051.69 and slightly above Costa Rica’s 765,624,350.63, underscoring the country’s strong diaspora linkages within a small open economy. The sustained increase since the early 1990s suggests that continued labor mobility and favorable exchange‑rate conditions will likely keep inflows rising, unless major shocks to global migration patterns or Irish fiscal policy intervene.
