National productivity board
IMAD analyses productivity and competitiveness as the national productivity board
GDP and prices
After last year’s strong rebound, we expect GDP growth of 4.2% this year, slowing to 3% next year. Uncertainty is heightened by the war in Ukraine. Inflation rose sharply at the end of last year and is expected to remain at a relatively high level for most of this year; provided price pressures ease, it should approach 2% in 2024.
International trade
Growth in external trade will slow this year and in the coming years due to a slowdown in the growth of trade in goods, also as a result of the war in Ukraine and related sanctions. These will lead to lower trade with Russia and, through our main trading partners, a slowdown in external demand growth. Trade in services is expected to exceed pre-crisis levels already this year and trade in travel only in the coming years.
