Following several years of strong growth and significant external borrowing, the exchange rate has depreciated steadily since mid-2017. Intensified market pressures in August 2018 led to a further depreciation of around 30%, followed by a partial recovery thereafter. The economy is projected to contract in 2019 as a sharp fall in domestic demand from the second half of 2018 will be offset only partially by an increase in exports. A gradual recovery in domestic confidence and demand is projected to help growth to recover in 2020.
