In 2005, the authorities implemented substantial fiscal consolidation, reducing the budget deficit to 4.6 percent of GDP on IMF staff calculations. Economic growth in 2006 and beyond is likely to be moderate compared with the high rates enjoyed in previous years, though it should remain comfortably above the euro area average.
