Central Bank cuts forecast for housing supply, says new homes target will be missed for next three years
Briefly

The Central Bank of Ireland has revised its forecasts for housing completions for 2025 and 2026, indicating a worrying decline in residential construction. Originally, the bank estimated 37,000 homes would be completed in 2025; however, this has been adjusted down to 35,000 due to a noticeable slowdown in construction activities. The projection for 2026 has been slightly reduced to 40,000 homes, although there is an expectation of a rebound in 2027, with completions rising to 44,000. This trend raises concerns about the government's ability to meet its long-term housing targets.
