Abstract:

GDP grew 2.6% y/y in Q3, its highest since Q4 2014, but this extended the period of underperformance and was too low to make a dent in the unemployment rate, which rose to 13.1% in 2015. Growth benefited from a sharply lower oil price via higher private consumption and net trade. But trade, tourism and business confidence continued to be depressed by worsening regional instability related to conflicts in Syria and Iraq. The economy was additionally burdened by hosting refugees, who now number 1.3m.We do expect GDP growth to accelerate in 2016 and 2017 to 3.2% and 3.8%, respectively, underpinned by continued oil price weakness, a stabilisation of the geo-political situation and grants and soft loans from abroad including to help with the refugees. However, this is still well below government targets and the potential spillover from regional conflicts could still have grave consequences for the economic outlook. Large and persistent external and fiscal deficits also remain a concern.
