Summary:This Selected Issues paper and Statistical Appendix highlights that the real GDP growth in Latvia accelerated in the second half of 1997, and is estimated at 6 percent for the year.

Reflecting the strong economic growth, official unemployment has begun to decline, falling from 7 1\2 percent in mid-year to 6.7 percent at end-January 1998.
