Economic activity is set to remain buoyant through 2018 and, to a lesser extent, 2019, boosted by strong rebounds in investment and exports. Solid job creation and dynamic wages underpin private consumption. Inflation remains higher than in other euro area countries, mainly driven by prices in sectors that are little exposed to international merchandise trade.
