Summary

The Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) is off to a good start, and the economic outlook is generally positive. Real GDP growth reached 12.6 percent in 2022, driven by robust consumption and a surge in inflow of income, capital, business, and labor. Growth is expected to decelerate but remain robust in 2023. Headline inflation fell to 3.2 percent (year-on-year) in April, including due to base effects, lower food inflation, dram appreciation, and monetary policy tightening. Risks to the outlook are elevated, requiring the continuation of strong policies to build resilience further.
