Growth is strong and projected to stay robust in 2019 and 2020. Domestic demand will support economic activity, with private consumption boosted by a buoyant labour market and lasting effects of tax reform. Growth momentum in the euro area will support solid exports of financial and non-financial services. Continued job creation will primarily benefit cross-border workers, but also help to reduce the unemployment rate to just above 5%.
