Event overview

The National Economic Dialogue is the principal institutional forum for public consultation and discussion on the Budget. This annual stakeholder engagement event is hosted jointly by the Department of Finance and the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform.

The Dialogue provides a deliberative forum for stakeholders to participate in an open and inclusive exchange on the competing economic and social priorities facing the government. It is not intended to produce specific budget proposals or recommendations, but should assist participants in preparing their own pre-budget submissions.

Theme

The National Economic Dialogue will take place on Monday 27th May 2024. The discussions at the Dialogue will focus around the theme of a more shock-prone world: challenges and opportunities for Ireland.
