### Summary of major findings
- Output growth slowed from "4.2 percent per year in 2008" to "less than 2 percent in 2009".
- Growth drivers contracted, weakening domestic expansion.
- Growth prospects depend heavily on the global economy, especially the EU.
- Inflation has fallen to the "low single digits" due to lower global food and commodity prices and the domestic economic slowdown.
- The current account deficit narrowed as lower imports more than offset the contraction of external demand.
