GDP grew by 3.7% in 2006, with activity gathering considerable momentum in the final quarter, when investment rebounded vigorously. Private consumption is underpinning growth, due to improving labour market conditions, rising real earnings and robust credit growth. The trade surplus remains sizeable, predominantly on the back of higher export prices and despite a recovery -driven surge in imports. Headline inflation is well below the mid-point of the target range, and inflation expectations are well anchored.
