The recovery has recently slowed despite favourable financial conditions but growth is projected to pick up to 2¼ per cent in 2020. An ambitious pension reform proposal to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability has been submitted to Congress, but uncertainty about the implementation of the reform remains. If this uncertainty dissipates, domestic demand is projected to accelerate and unemployment to decline. Given ample spare capacity, inflation is expected to remain below target.
