The GDP growth projection in 2023, at 3.2 percent, is lower than 2022 as tourism demand continues the recovery and the economy approaches the existing production capacity.
The economy has rebounded strongly after the Covid-19 pandemic and the commodity import price shock due to Russia’s war in Ukraine; output is currently near the pre-pandemic level. Higher government revenue has narrowed the fiscal deficit, but public debt is much higher than before the pandemic. The banking sector has adequate liquidity and is profitable, but NPLs are elevated, and additional provisioning is required. Rapid credit growth in the large credit union sector is a concern, and several institutions require additional capital.
