Households saved 14.8%, or €1 in €7, of their disposable income in the third quarter of 2025, new figures from the Central Statistics Office show.
This saving rate was up from 13.1% in the second quarter of 2025, and above the average of 13.1% since the start of 2023.
The CSO said that saving can add to a household's overall wealth in the form of buying new homes, growing bank deposits, pension savings, and paying off debt.
The increase in the seasonally adjusted household saving rate was due to a combination of an increase in household income combined with a flat level of spending on final consumption, it said.
Today's results are preliminary and are subject to revision, it added.
