报告摘要

Growth: Real GDP growth declined (-0.4% in 2023) due to consumption slump and wage pressures, but is projected to rebound (1.2% in 2024) driven by domestic demand and export recovery.
Inflation: Inflation peaked (~18%) in late 2022, declining to ~4.2% in late 2023, aligning with policy goals at ~2% target by late 2025.
Monetary Policy: Maintained at 7% (June 2022); recommended keeping stance tight to anchor inflation expectations; flexible, data-driven adjustments foreseen.
Fiscal Position: Solid buffers exist, but consolidation (3.9% deficit in 2023 vs. target 2.2% in 2024) supports disinflation; MTO reform path includes climate and aging expenses.

Activity Risks: Downside tilted (global slowdown, energy shocks); vulnerabilities remain in housing, foreign currency loans.
Inflation Risks: Upside tilted (unexpected demand, wage-push inflation).
External Stability: Current account surplus narrowing; debt sustainable at ~44% of GDP.

Monetary: Persist with tight stance; cautious easing if data supports disinflation.
Fiscal: Maintain consolidation pace to reach medium-term MTO; balance reforms with growth pressures.
Macroprudential: Reinstating DTI/DSTI limits; stress-testing foreign currency exposures.
Structural: Accelerate green/energy transition, improve pension reforms, enhance labor skill diversity.

Macro vulnerabilities are contained; fiscal discipline remains strong; demography and energy dependency are transformation constraints.�� transition will require significant private investment supported by EU funds.
