The economy is projected to continue contracting throughout 2012, as budgetary consolidation and deleveraging in the private sector weigh on domestic demand. Expanding world trade and competitiveness gains will allow for stronger export growth. Real GDP is expected to fall by 1½ per cent in 2012 and then by a further ¾ per cent in 2013. The unemployment rate will rise above 25%. The budget deficit is projected to fall from 8.5% of GDP in 2011 to 3.3% in 2013.
