Hide / Show Abstract

After a robust expansion of 3% in 2006, the pace of growth should moderate in 2007-08, but remain sufficiently strong to close the output gap by the end of the projection period. Domestic demand is underpinned by higher employment and real incomes. Recent improvements in competitiveness should help enhance export market performance. Inflation is expected to be only gradually affected by rising cost pressures.
