The Central Bank says that the economy will grow at a rate of 5% from 2015-2016 and forecasts that the inflation rate will be 4% plus or minus 1% and credit will cost 10-12%, providing that oil prices remain low. The Central Bank says there are no major domestic risks or variables that could affect the macroeconomics in the short term.
The Central Bank report focuses on the 3% improvement in the US economy and the savings of around US$1.2 billion resulting from the reduction in global oil prices. The report also mentions improvements in the Euro zone that could be reflected by increased European tourists and increased exports to Europe.
