The economy will recover gradually from the financial market turmoil in 2018. A strong currency depreciation has exacerbated high inflation, denting real incomes and investor confidence. Contractive macroeconomic policies and policy uncertainty in the run-up to the October 2019 elections will weigh on the recovery of domestic demand. However, exports will continue to lead the economy out of the recession, supported by the weaker real exchange rate and a strong harvest, although their strength will be severely limited by slow world trade growth. Unemployment is projected not to recede before 2020.
