More than 57,600 people are estimated to be working in the international financial services sector here, the 2023 progress report of the Ireland for Finance Strategy reveals.
This marks a 50% increase in jobs since 2015.
Today's report also shows that about one in four jobs in the sector are outside of Dublin in the regions, providing high quality jobs across the country.
It also reveals that IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland continue to support growth in this sector.
The IDA has supported over 300 companies in international financial services and Enterprise Ireland has invested over €80m in companies in fintech, financial services and business services since 2018.
Some notable achievements in the latest report include a new pre-seed funding offer for early stage fintech investors, with 21 new companies supported through Enterprise Ireland's Pre-Seed Start Fund and High Potential Start-Up initiatives and a revised and updated Sustainable Finance Roadmap.
Neale Richmond, Minister of State at the Department of Finance with special responsibility for Financial Services, Credit Unions and Insurance, said that Ireland's international financial services sector continues to go from strength to strength.
"The Ireland for Finance Strategy is central to the success of the sector and the Progress Report 2023 reaffirms that this work is well underway. My focus is to continue this growth in 2024, to work with both the private and public sector to achieve this and ensure that Ireland continues to be a leader in international financial services," Mr Richmond added.
