IMF staff estimates that real GDP fell by about 4 percent in 2004, compared with a contraction of 10 1\2 percent the preceding year. Monetary policy has been tightened, but not consistently. Overnight interest rates were raised sharply in early 2004 and lowered subsequently as inflation declined, with real interest rates maintained at high levels for most of the year.
