Robust growth is projected to continue. Significant new capacity in the automotive sector will boost export performance. Labour market buoyancy and solid investment growth, underpinned by favourable financial conditions and increased disbursements of EU funds, will contribute to strong domestic demand. Wage growth will increase and consumer price inflation will reach 3% as the labour market tightens and pressures on production capacity build up.
