The COVID-19 crisis has hit the economy hard, with the export of vehicles and tourism suffering the most. Household consumption and investment have declined sharply, due partly to sub-optimal crisis management by the government. The pre-crisis economic level will only be reached in late 2022, at the earliest. Support from the EU rescue programme is indispensable for this, but non-compliance with rule-of-law requirements may render participation problematic.
