IFSC Dublin

Ireland's purpose-built financial-services centre on the Liffey.

The Irish Financial Services Centre (IFSC) in Dublin was established in 1987 by the Irish government as a tax-incentivised cluster on derelict docklands at North Wall Quay. It now anchors the European operations of Citi, JPMorgan, BlackRock, State Street, and the Irish offices of every major US tech-finance group. After Brexit, several London-based banks expanded their Dublin operations to maintain EU passporting.

Origin

Charles Haughey's 1987 plan offered a 10% corporate tax rate for IFSC tenants; the Custom House Docks were redeveloped over the 1990s. The 12.5% standard corporate rate later replaced the IFSC-specific regime, and Brexit gave a fresh boost.
