Following a period of robust economic expansion, the economy has started to slow, reflecting the spillover effects of the euro area sovereign debt crisis through lower confidence and tighter credit conditions. A moderate easing of growth to 4½ per cent is expected in 2012 as domestic demand softens and international financial conditions remain volatile. Better global growth prospects should contribute to faster growth of 5% in 2013.
