Pandemic concerns have been fading. GDP has started to recover, and a rising wage bill is supporting a strong rise in consumption. Growth in gross fixed capital formation is still inadequate, but industrial production is performing very well. An upturn in inflation has led to a tightening of monetary policy. The interest rate hike may have negative consequences for growth, but fiscal policy will continue to be supportive. The prospects, though fairly good, remain unimpressive.
