Growth reached 5 percent in 2006, buoyed by strong exports, and is only expected to slow marginally to 4 3/4 percent this year. The current account is expected to remain broadly in balance. The impact of the ongoing global financial turbulence has so far been manageable but downside risks to the outlook have increased, with the nascent consumption recovery vulnerable to a downturn in asset markets.
