Strong industry performance accounts for a speeding-up of economic growth
in 2017. The oil sector is benefiting from output expansion, higher prices and
increased external demand. Real household income has been in decline, and
private consumption growth is financed primarily through bank loans. The
government is adopting measures to achieve fiscal consolidation and revive
the banking sector.
