Abstract
Weak exports and investments resulting
from the impact of the euro-area crisis, domestic supply
constraints, and intensified strikes and unrests underpin
the growth slowdown. Strong remittances and robust service
sector performance are expected to help maintain growth at a
still healthy level. Increasingly fragile political
stability does not bode well for revival of investment
needed to accelerate growth. A broad-based declining
inflation trend appears to be gaining ground. Average
(twelve-monthly-moving) inflation has declined steadily over
the past ten months, from a peak of nearly 11 percent in
February 2012 to 8 percent in March 2013, reflecting
declines in both food and non-food inflation. Favorable
international commodity prices, a stable exchange rate and
monetary tightening contributed to lowering inflation.
