• European Commission’s decision to end the disciplinary process for its excessive budget deficit marks a turning point, even if debt burden is a problem.
• After + 1.4% in 2016, the GDP is expected to increase by +2% in 2017 and +1.7% in 2018. Export contribution will remain strong.
A3PORTUGALBJAMAICA
• Country concluded the first review of an IMF stand-by arrangement in April, having achieved its primary fiscal surplus target and completed initial reforms.
• Positive real GDP growth has been recorded in 7 consecutive quarters. Investor confidence is at an all-time high.
A2SPAIN
• The economy could grow faster in 2017 than anticipated (+2.9 %). The recovery is partly linked to strong exports.
• Consumption should remain supported by strong labor market.
BRUSSIA
• Outlook has deteriorated rapidly on account of the worsening political stand-off.
• Increasing tension between the two powers has raised government debt payment risks.
CEL SALVADOR
• The economic growth remains dynamic and will be supported by the implementation of infrastructure projects.
• The more favorable commodity prices will be a tailwind to exports.
• The economic reform move under the new President is likely to be positive for investment and business environment.
CUZBEKISTAN
• Measures imposed by Gulf states against Qatar may exacerbate its external vulnerabilities and could put pressure on its economic growth (reduction of regional trade, corporate profitability damaged) and accounts.
• If the situation worsens, it may destabilize nonresident deposits.
• The country slipped into technical recession in 4Q 2016. The outlook for 2017 is lackluster, in spite of a recovery in the mining sector, as government spending are lower and monetary policy tightens.
• The economic headwinds in South Africa, Namibia’s main commercial partner, are also likely to have a negative impact.
A4B QATARNAMIBIA
• Russian economy recovers from downturn: investment and industrial production increase, retail sales are stable, supported by lower inflation. The corporate profits rose by 5% yoy in Q1 2017, especially in mining and quarrying, electricity gas steam and real estate.
