The economy continues to recover, thanks to stronger consumer spending and tourism receipts. Declining unemployment and a foreign trade surplus are also signs of improvements. Growth is projected to increase as residential construction rebounds and investment in large energy-related projects picks up. As a result of this upswing, the slack in resource utilisation should be fully eliminated in 2015.
