Summary

While the economy was recovering from the COVID-crisis, a succession of shocks and loose fiscal policy intensified inflation and fueled a large external deficit. Appropriately, the central bank significantly tightened monetary policy and the government plans a large fiscal adjustment. However, regulatory measures undermine the tighter fiscal and monetary policy mix. Growth is expected to slow sharply with still-elevated inflation and sizable risks can worsen the outlook.
