The economy is projected to contract sharply as the COVID‑19 pandemic drags down both domestic and external demand. GDP growth is expected to shrink by 10.4% in 2020 in a scenario that assumes that a second virus outbreak occurs later in the year and by 8.1% in a single-hit scenario. GDP growth will rebound as confidence and world trade pick up, boosting consumption and investment. Unemployment will rise, but despite some gradual decline, it will remain above the pre-crisis level.
