The economy contracted in the second half of 2011. Domestic demand weakened as financial turmoil made investors and consumers more cautious and damaged the solvency of pension funds. Growth is projected to gradually pick up again from mid-2012, underpinned by stronger world trade and supportive monetary policy. Unemployment could continue to rise until mid-2012 and currently high inflation pressures will ease.
