Economic growth is projected to pick up in 2017. The increase in the minimum wage in January and ongoing strong labour demand will benefit workers and boost consumption. Private and public investment are recovering. Labour shortages will constrain growth in 2018 and add some inflationary pressure, keeping inflation above the 2% target through 2018.
