Economic growth is projected to benefit from accelerating exports, but also to become more broad-based as domestic demand picks up, in spite of on-going fiscal consolidation and a modest improvement in residential investment. Job creation is expected to slowly gather pace, leading to a slight fall in unemployment in 2015. Inflation will remain low, due to limited imported price pressures, still sizeable economic slack and recent wage restraint.
