Strong growth will continue in 2018 and 2019, driven by robust private demand and a dynamic external sector. Increasing wages will support household consumption and low interest rates will boost capital investment. Labour shortages will weigh on growth. Historically low unemployment will push inflation above the central bank’s 2% target.
