FCA Research Note: Cryptoasset consumer research 2021
June 17, 2021--FCA says the digital assets appear to have become more normalised and viewed less as a gamble
Summary
This quantitative research follows 2 quantitative studies and 1 qualitative study since October 2018. This latest research will help us develop our thinking on the potential harms and benefits to consumers from cryptoassets, including our understanding of attitudes and patterns of usage.
We chose to use the term 'cryptocurrency' throughout the questionnaire. This term is more widely used in the public domain than the broader ‘cryptoasset' term the FCA has tended to use. We also use 'exchange' to represent 'cryptocurrency trading platforms', given that 'exchange' is widely understood and used by consumers.

Ireland: 2021 Article IV Consultation-Press Release; and Staff Report
June 16, 2021--Summary:
Ireland entered the COVID pandemic with reduced vulnerabilities and high growth, especially in multinational enterprises (MNEs)-dominated sectors. The pandemic has had a highly asymmetric impact on the economy. The domestic sectors contracted by about 10 percent in 2020 and unemployment reached 30 percent at the peak of the first wave, while MNEs continued to grow strongly, driving overall GDP growth to 3.4 percent.
A swift policy response has been effective in mitigating the crisis impact and protecting households and firms. The domestic sectors are expected to partially recover in 2021, with GDP growth projected at 4.6 percent. Downside risks stem from uncertainties surrounding new COVID variants, post-Brexit trade arrangements, and likely changes in international taxation.
