A gradual recovery is underway and economic growth is projected to reach 1.7% by 2017. The recovery will be driven mainly by historically low interest rates, lower oil prices, a pick-up in foreign demand and a weaker euro. Consumer confidence remains weak but the income tax reform, to enter into force in 2016, will boost private consumption.
