Growth will remain strong as global demand and a weaker krona continue to boost exports. Exporting sectors will invest further to meet rising demand, but housing investment will contract against the backdrop of house price declines. The labour force will expand more slowly and unemployment will level off, as difficult‑to‑hire low‑skilled workers make up a rising share of jobseekers. Households will remain cautious, with the saving rate staying high.
