Inflation moderated to 2 3/4 percent (annual average) in FY2013 thanks to stable international food and fuel prices, and it is expected to stay at about 3 percent in FY2014. Growth is projected to increase to 1 3/4 percent in FY2014 and to 2u-2 1\2 percent over the medium term driven by the recovery in tourism and infrastructure developments.
