The expansion, which has been increasingly underpinned by domestic demand, continued in 2007. Growth is expected to slow somewhat in 2008 and 2009 owing to a weaker world economy and tighter credit market conditions. Accordingly, the unemployment rate is likely to remain at its current high level. A sizeable negative output gap is expected to contain underlying inflation pressures despite higher food and energy prices.
