However, economic growth is estimated to have remained positive at 2.5 percent, supported by buoyant activity in the gold and construction sectors. Inflation has fallen sharply. Executive Directors have welcomed the authorities' decision to postpone the reduction in the corporate tax rate, as this would adversely affect tax collections.
