Economic activity displayed a significant slowdown in the third quarter. Thanks to accommodative measures and incentives, economic activity is likely to remain on a moderate upward track. Domestic demand remained relatively subdued but the growing EU demand continues to stimulate exports. Commodity prices are expected to gradually have less of a positive influence on the current account in the upcoming period however the current account balance will continue to improve with the recovery in the net exports of goods. 5
