Economic growth is expected to remain moderate in 2013, and then pick up noticeably in 2014 as the labour market recovery gains momentum. Tax increases are taking a significant bite out of incomes this year, but sizable gains in equity and real estate prices have boosted household wealth and should provide support to private consumption and residential investment. Given ample corporate cash flow and an improved demand outlook, business investment is likely to rise steadily over the projection.
