The economic expansion is projected to slow, but GDP will still grow at 3.9% in 2019 and 3% in 2020. Private consumption will be underpinned by income gains from strong real wage and employment growth. Investment will be supported by the business sector’s need to expand capacity, government housing support and disbursements of EU structural funds. A tight labour market is pushing up inflation and increasingly tight capacity constraints are reducing GDP growth, with expanding demand being increasingly satisfied via higher imports.
