Northern Ireland sees largest rise in disposable income

A new report from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reveals that real disposable income per person in Northern Ireland rose by 4.1% in 2024, the largest increase of any UK region.

The figures show that on average, real disposable income per person in the UK rose by 3.1%, with London having an average disposable income of more than £36,000 per head.

Within Northern Ireland, Lisburn and Castlereagh had the highest average disposable income at £24,515, while Derry and Strabane had the lowest at £20,375.

The West Midlands, Yorkshire, Wales, and the north east of England all have lower disposable incomes. The UK average is now above £26,000 per head, with only London, south east England, and east of England above that.

Waiting lists and taxes in Northern Ireland are also a concern, but the economy 'is to outperform the UK average over five years' according to new figures.
