Country Economic Forecasts - Bulgaria
Revisions to Q3 national accounts have lifted our 2018 GDP growth estimate from 3.3% to 3.4%. However, our forecast for the next few years is unchanged, with growth seen at 3.5% in 2019 and then averaging 2.1% in 2020-22. Despite deteriorating economic sentiment in November, we still expect consumption to have remained the main driver of growth in 2018 and suspect it will continue this role in 2019 as the external sector recovery is threatened by the economic crisis in neighbouring Turkey.
