Investment activity is expected to slow in 2020, following last year’s strong increase. Furthermore, growth in external demand will continue to decline both this year and in 2021. Household consumption, backed by an ongoing rise in employment and real wages, continues to be a strong driver of economic activity. We project a decline in GDP growth to 2.7% in 2020, followed by a further slowdown to 2.5% in 2021 and a slight upswing to 2.7% in 2022.
