After a slowdown in 2008, reflecting weaker external demand and soaring oil prices, output growth is projected to increase to 5% in 2009, thanks to a pick-up in both exports and domestic demand. While rising import prices have pushed inflation above the central bank’s target zone, slower growth in 2008 is likely to damp inflationary pressures.
