Gross domestic product (GDP) growth is estimated to have increased to 3.1% in 2011, up from 2.9% in 2010. Growth is expected to slow to 2.8% in 2012 mainly because of domestic structural weaknesses and the fragile global economic recovery. GDP growth is expected to rise to 3.6% in 2013, subject to global recovery taking place and an orderly resolution of the Eurozone fiscal and financial crisis during 2012.
