Dublin is the engine of Ireland's economy, with 52% of the country's GDP originating in the capital, as of 2016. The city's economy is highly orientated towards services, chiefly IT, banking and other financial industries, while the rest of Ireland relies, to a larger extent, on manufacturing and agriculture. Dublin hosts an impressive array of IT multinationals thanks to low corporation tax rates in the country. As of 2017, Ireland and Dublin have recovered almost completely from the 2008-2011

The average labour productivity in Dublin, defined as total GVA generated by the economy of the city divided by the number of employees, is among the highest in the world: USD159,000 as of 2016. It is, however, increased by Ireland's "tax haven" statute. Against the rest of Ireland, Dublin held a 40% labour productivity advantage in 2016, explained by the overwhelmingly higher share of GVA generated by tertiary industries (76% of total GVA, versus only 28% in the rest of the country).
A higher share of the employed population active in tertiary industries in Dublin versus the rest of Ireland (82% versus 68%) resulted in a 15% disposable income advantage in the city in 2016. Globally, the USD63,000 figure in 2016 is a still robust performance above that of Gothenburg (USD61,300 in same year), Munich (USD60,900) and most Western European metropolises.
Average household spending (excluding transport and housing) was only 9.7% higher in Dublin than in the rest of Ireland in 2016. In comparison with the rest of the country, Dubliners demonstrate a greater inclination towards education, but also towards leisure expenses.
Combined per-household spending on housing and transport in the city was only 8.7% above that in the rest of the country in 2016. In terms of housing, Dublin is considerably less affordable than the rest of Ireland due to an acute shortage of housing. In 2016, housing demanded 14% higher expenditure per household in the city compared with elsewhere in Ireland. On the other hand, Dubliners spent 1.2% less on transportation in 2016 due to a well-developed public transportation network and a lower abundance of private cars.
