Following a strong recovery, growth is expected to lose some momentum along with international trade and US industrial production, although sound fundamentals and supportive macroeconomic policies should help to avert a sharp downturn. GDP is expected to grow by 4% in 2011 and slow to only 3.3% in 2012. With confidence gradually strengthening and some pick-up in growth in partner countries after mid-2012, exports and activity should pick up again in 2013 with GDP growth reaching 3.6%. Given considerable uncertainties regarding the health of the world economy and financial markets stability, risks are, however, mainly to the downside.
