Summary

In the context of a moderation of growth following the post-pandemic rebound, the economy is facing significant challenges. The fiscal outlook has notably deteriorated against the background of structurally lower Citizenship-By-Investment (CBI) revenues, and the current account deficit has widened. Public banks are facing long-standing weaknesses, which may have important implications for financial stability and fiscal sustainability, while lending from private banks and credit unions is expanding rapidly.
