Growth is projected to ease to 2.8% in 2020 and to 2.3% in 2021, amid subdued investment and persistent weakness in the euro area, which will hamper further export dynamism. Solid private consumption growth will underpin domestic demand. The buoyant labour market will keep creating jobs, though at a decelerating pace and benefitting primarily cross-border workers. Consequently, the unemployment rate is projected to decline only slightly.
