Economic growth is projected to slow considerably, to 1.6% in 2019 and 1.5% in 2020. A weakening external economic environment and increased international trade uncertainties are weighing on trade and investment growth. Deteriorating domestic conditions are contributing to projected labour market weakness, slow disposable income growth and tepid consumption.
