After moderating in the second half of 2006, economic growth has accelerated again and is expected to reach almost 11½ per cent in 2007, leading to a widening of the output gap. The inflation rate is projected to increase to around 4½ per cent in 2007 and stabilise thereafter as weaker food prices are estimated to offset accelerating non-agricultural prices. Despite continued strong export growth, output is likely to slow in 2008 and 2009 as imports accelerate. Nonetheless, the current account surplus is projected to rise from around $350 billion in 2007 to over $500 billion in 2009, passing from 11¼ to 11¾ per cent of GDP
