Economic Forecast

Expansionary fiscal policy helped lift growth in 2019 with strong consumption and investment. Price controls and tight monetary policy trimmed inflation. Growth is projected to plummet in 2020 because of COVID-19 and lower oil export earnings before rebounding in 2021 from a low base with stronger oil production and expansionary fiscal policy. Administrative and monetary measures should help contain inflation, but a smaller trade surplus will widen the current account deficit. Social assistance needs to be made more sustainable.
