Economic growth slowed in 2018 and is projected to remain at around 1½ per cent in 2019 and 2020. Domestic demand will be the main driver of growth. Government investment will be strong in 2020, and private investment will also support growth in the coming two years. Underlying price inflation will pick up gradually due to increasing wage growth in a tight labour market.
