Fiscal and monetary policies have been tightened, steadily reducing inflation in recent years.
The real value of private final consumption rose by 11.8% in 2015 and gains of 8.2% are forecast for 2016.
Pushed up by large foreign investments in capital-intensive industries, the current account deficit was 28.1% of GDP in 2015.
The deficit will narrow modestly to 22.3% in 2016. Much of the imbalance is covered by inflows of FDI and aid. However, it is too large to be sustainable in the longer term.
The fiscal deficit was cut to 4.5% of GDP in 2014 and a further reduction was planned for 2015.
More than 200,000 people enter the job market each year. More workers are also moving from agriculture to industry and services. Officials intend to encourage the export of labour to ease pressures on the domestic job market. The official unemployment rate was 3.3% in 2015.
