The initial expansion was fueled by accelerating domestic private and public demand, as well as growing demand for Latvia's output in both new, mostly European Union, and the traditional Commonwealth of Independent States markets. Domestic consumer and investment demand were supported by growing real incomes and tax revenues and pent-up demand carried over from previous years.
