After slowing in the second quarter, growth has picked up in the third quarter on the back of strong domestic demand. The output gap is likely to be almost closed. Going forward, growth is projected to advance at near trend rates during 2008 and 2009. Following some near-term headwinds, unemployment may continue to edge down but at a much slower pace than in the recent past. The slower projected expansion largely reflects a diminishing contribution from net exports that is not fully compensated by stronger private consumption.
