Economic growth was strong in 2014 and is projected to continue at a solid pace in 2015 and 2016, boosted by domestic demand. The unemployment rate is projected to fall further towards 5%. As spare capacity wanes, inflation is expected to pick up towards the 2% inflation target. The current account deficit has widened to above 5% of GDP, notably as investment income has disappointed, but is projected to narrow gradually as the euro area continues to recover.
