Economic growth is weak, reflecting low commodity prices, but is projected to pick up gradually over the next two years. Activity is now being sustained by public spending, but will get futher impetus from stronger private domestic and external demand. Inflation will remain temporarily high as a consequence of the sharp depreciation of the peso, but is projected to decline towards the central bank’s target as the effects of depreciation wear off and unemployment rises.
