In 2023, international flight and cruise arrivals rose well above their pre-pandemic levels leading to a projected 4.3 percent expansion in the year, bringing the economy back to estimates of potential output.

Real GDP is expected to grow by 4 percent in 2023, inflation to slow down, and the fiscal position of the central government to maintain a small surplus and healthy government deposits.
