GDP growth was the slowest in over two years in Q2, but this was largely due to a sharp fall in fixed investment—a volatile subcomponent. More positively, government and private consumption boomed, and exports rebounded. The economy should have seen a robust expansion in Q3. Fixed investment could have recovered after a poor Q2 showing, while household consumption will have been buoyed by higher wages, pensions and social spending. Moreover, tourist arrivals jumped in July–August, boding well for services exports, while agricultural output could have recovered somewhat after extreme cold weather caused huge livestock losses earlier this year. Less positively, government expenditure growth eased in July–August following June’s elections; in the same two-month period, copper output contracted and coal output growth slowed.
