The economy is projected to expand at a slower pace of around 1½ per cent in 2019‑20, as export growth will weaken due to lower foreign demand growth, especially for investment goods. Residential investment will remain weak. Earnings and employment growth will support private consumption, even though gradually rising inflation is set to erode household real incomes. Employment growth will slow, as labour market mismatch binds.
