Economic growth will decelerate to below 4% over the forecast period, having peaked at 4.5% in 2019 on the back of extensive fiscal stimuli. Domestic demand will remain robust, but low exports, along with strong import demand for capital goods, will negatively impact economic performance. A decline in commodity prices and the slowdown in China are downside risks to export dynamics.
