Owing to favorable terms-of-trade developments, the external current account deficit narrowed sharply. This, however, masks rising non-oil import pressures and a widening non-oil external current account deficit. Macroeconomic conditions have improved considerably since late 2003, owing largely to fiscal prudence. The fiscal restraint that began in the last quarter of 2003 continued in the first half of 2004.
