The week ahead in business: EU industrial statistics, Diageo earnings and CSO environmental data
Analysts will put particular focus on the Irish pharmaceuticals and manufacturing sector, as the global supply chains remain unsettled due to US president Donald Trump's constantly changing deadlines around tariffs. The latest is August 7, when a new set of tariffs is due to be applied to over 60 countries, and when the new US-EU trade deal, with a baseline levy of 15pc, is due to come into effect. However, the week is young. Who knows what it truly holds on the tariff front? Tomorrow, global beverage giant Diageo will unveil its preliminary full-year 2025 earnings. The results come amid leadership upheavals in the company, with an interim CEO and CFO now in place in a bid to help improve investor confidence, following a volatile period in their shares. With Ireland remaining a strategic location for Diageo's supply chain, any implications caused by these results will be closely watched by local operations. On Wednesday, the Central Statistics Office (CSO) will issue the latest environmental data, focusing on annual air emissions. This will aim to set a baseline for Ireland's carbon reporting ahead of the acceleration of environmental actions being laid out in the government's Climate Action Plan of 2026. Also on Wednesday, the Central Bank of Ireland will announce the monthly card payment statistics for July – data in relation to credit and debit card transactions undertaken by Irish households. On Thursday we get the publication of two key sets of stats: the CSO's unemployment rate for July and its consumer price index (CPI) data. We're not expecting much change in either metric, but the unemployment figures are worth watching for any softening in the labour markets. Rounding off the week, Friday will bring a snapshot of industrial production and turnover for July, offering insight of the performance in the multinational and traditional sectors.
