GDP will grow by 4% in 2018, mainly owing to high oil prices and expansion of production in the oil sector. In 2019-2020, the economy will continue benefiting from the favourable commodity price environment and grow by about 3% annually. The main risks to the forecast are a sharp decline in global oil prices and intensifying geopolitical tensions around Russia and China.
