    The Irish economy expanded rapidly during the Celtic Tiger years from 1994 to 2007 due to low corporate tax rates and interest rates set by the ECB, fueling credit expansion and a property bubble that burst in 2007. This led to an Irish sovereign debt crisis as the state had to guarantee banks that financed the property bubble, rather than from government overspending. The property bubble saw unsustainable increases in real estate prices from the 1990s to 2008, with Dublin house prices down 56% and apartment prices down over 62% from their peaks, returning to pre-2000 levels. Factors driving the bubble included increased prosperity, low interest rates, positive sentiment, and the impact of continually rising prices.

    Financial Crises Ireland


    The Irish economy expanded rapidly during the Celtic Tiger years (19942007) Due to a low corporate tax rate, low ECB (European Central Bank) interest rates, and other factors. This led to an expansion of credit and included a Property Bubble which petered out in 2007 So Irish sovereign debt crisis was not based on government over-spending, but from the state guaranteeing the six main Irish-based banks who had financed a property bubble.
