That's Limerick City

Two Irish cities are among the top 10 places in Europe to invest

Can you guess where?

A NEW REPORT has named Dublin and Limerick as two of the top cities in Europe to invest.

The sixth global ‘Best to Invest Report’ was compiled by Site Selection, an international magazine focusing on corporate real estate strategy and area economic development.

The report cites Ireland as the best Western European country to invest in and includes a Top 10 list of the best metropolitan areas to invest in.

The list is headed by Barcelona, but Dublin and Limerick come third and ninth, respectively.

The result was welcomed by Limerick City and County Council, whose Chief Executive Conn Murray said it will come as a boon to confidence in the city.

“The fact that Limerick has been placed alongside established business centres such as London, Madrid, Dublin and Barcelona will inject a huge amount of confidence in the local sector.

“It will also promote Limerick’s position globally as an investment location while this status can also be used by agencies responsible for attracting inward investment in the region. Limerick City and County Council through the Limerick Marketing Company will be highlighting this Report when engaging with potential investors.”

The report tracked the growth in new facilities, capital investment and job creation, as well as business costs, economic strength, infrastructure; regulatory burden; and tax rates.
