Ireland’s Exchequer position improved markedly in March 2026, with the deficit narrowing to €0.2 billion from €1.8 billion a month earlier, according to figures updated on 7 April 2026.

The shift from a €1.8 billion shortfall in February 2026 to a €0.2 billion deficit in March suggests a significant strengthening in the State’s monthly fiscal balance. While the Exchequer remains in deficit, the scale of the improvement over a single month points to either stronger revenues, lower expenditure, or a combination of both compared with February.

Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely to see whether March’s performance signals the start of a more sustained improvement in Ireland’s public finances or reflects one-off factors in the timing of receipts and payments.
