Bank of Ireland says its forecast for GDP of 4.2% this year and 3.8% next year remains unchanged from last October.
In its latest Quarterly Economic Outlook for the Irish economy, the bank said unemployment will fall to 8.8% in 2016.
Bank of Ireland said it expects trading partner growth and a weak euro will continue to support exports this year and investment will be helped by factors including a recovering property market.
It also anticipates that growth in employment and improving household incomes should also see consumer spending gather pace.
