Summary

Tight monetary policy has helped bring inflation back to target after a prolonged period of elevated price pressures, but at the expense of growth. A nascent recovery is underway as monetary policy is easing again. House prices have stabilized, and financial sector risks are contained. The current juncture presents an opportunity for a bold reform agenda to address medium- and long-term challenges stemming from an aging population and weak productivity growth.
