GDP and prices
Given the high growth in the first half of the year and a more marked slowdown towards the end of 2022, we forecast GDP growth of 5.0%. The situation will remain tight in the first half of next year. After a recovery in the second half of the year, GDP will increase by 1.4% in 2023. Inflation is expected to remain close to 10% until the end of this year before gradually moderating by the end of next year, averaging 6% in the year as a whole.
International trade
Due to the aggravation of the energy crisis and the weakening of foreign demand, we expect a sharper slowdown in the growth of trade in goods this year and even more so next year. Trade in services is expected to exceed pre-crisis levels this year, while trade in travel will only do so in the coming years.
