The fiscal deficit in 2009 was estimated at 26u percent of GDP, 2 1\2 percentage points lower than previously projected. The growth of monetary aggregates slowed down in line with projections. A key risk concerns the ability of the government to maintain the public sector wage cuts. A negative outcome on this would have a large fiscal impact.
