Economic growth is projected to gradually strengthen to 2.8% in 2018. The pick-up will be underpinned by improving external demand and, reflecting more accommodative financial conditions, investment. The unemployment rate is projected to stabilise and wage growth to pick up, both of which will lower income disparities and raise consumption. Inflation is projected to increase as the impact of the past currency appreciation fades and aggregate demand strengthens.
