"Growth prospects are more positive for the medium term, with GDP expected to grow by 2.3% in 2021 and 4.5% in 2022, when it will surpass the prepandemic level on the back of gas investments. Inflation is expected to average 5.3% during 2021–22, pushed mostly by domestic demand during an economic recovery. Higher domestic growth and international demand for commodities are expected to generate more tax revenues and support resumption of the fiscal consolidation process."
