After accelerating in 2015, economic activity should slow somewhat as the boost from exceptional absorption of EU funds fades. Nonetheless, annual growth is projected to remain above 3%, led by persistently strong domestic demand. Household consumption will strengthen further, driven by improved labour market outcomes, low inflation and rising disposable income. Lower public investment will be partly compensated by new foreign direct investments in the automotive sector.
