Moody’s expects GDP growth of 1.7% this year, 1.4% next

 

The figures are below official government estimates, which point to GDP growth of 1.9% in 2018.

 

The budget deficit, according to Moody’s projections, is expected to increase to 2% of GDP in 2018.

 

Moody’s also noted high levels of public debt, estimating that these will gradually drop back, despite remaining at round 125% of GDP in 2020.
