Growth moderated to 6.2 percent in 2016, reflecting the impact of a drought and land salinization on agriculture and lower oil production. Weakness in the oil sector continued in the first quarter of 2017, but the underlying growth momentum remains robust underpinned by strong manufacturing activity and foreign direct investment, robust domestic demand, and a rebound in agricultural production. For 2017, growth is projected at 6.3 percent and headline inflation is projected to stabilize at about 5 percent as administered prices continue to be adjusted.
