Growth is projected to moderate but remain solid at just above 3% in 2018‑19. Strong investment on the back of increased EU funds disbursements and growing business spending will support activity, mitigating the impact of skills shortages and a shrinking labour force. Underlying price pressures are set to continue, driven by buoyant demand and increasing wages as the economy operates above capacity.
