Growth is picking up and inflation remains low. Domestic demand has led the turnaround, aided by a small fiscal stimulus and rapid credit expansion that did not slacken until June 2013. By past standards though, the recovery is subdued, reflecting a marked slowing in potential growth in the past few years. The momentum of domestic demand is projected to help external rebalancing resume in 2014 but little change has occurred so far in the structure of domestic demand. Overall excess capacity is limited and shrinking. With a fairly neutral macroeconomic policy stance, growth is projected to peak in 2014 and then edge down to around 7.5% in 2015.
