Fiscal policy in 2007 remains prudent, with the central government deficit limited to the programmed level of 1.8 percent of GDP. Monetary growth has accelerated in 2007, fueled by unsterilized foreign exchange intervention, cash dedollarization, and a surge in private sector credit. External developments in 2007 have shaped by large-scale inflows, high food prices, and buoyant domestic demand, amid continued dram appreciation.
