Tax cuts and wage increases have sustained disposable income growth, while household savings resumed a declining trend amid improvements in the economic outlook and public finances. In the IMF staff's view, economic growth is expected to continue at a healthy pace in 2005, driven by private consumption as well as a likely strengthening of corporate investment and employment growth.
