Growth is projected to remain strong, as domestic demand, notably private consumption, is boosted by strong wages and exports of financial and other business services. The accommodative monetary policy stance in the euro area will support access to credit and valuations of financial assets. Continued strong job creation, even though partly benefitting cross‑border workers, is projected to reduce unemployment further to 5½ per cent.
