Real GDP growth accelerated to 6.2% in 2006. Exports of financial services continued to be the main driving force, thanks to positive international financial market developments, confirming that the economy has weathered well the introduction of taxes on interest income. Stronger activity in the business services sector also contributed to the recovery. Improved employment trends for resident workers have gradually lowered the unemployment rate. Following slower growth of export markets, the recovery is set to weaken temporarily but should strengthen again in 2008 on the back of robust international financial markets and stronger domestic demand.
