Additionally, a potential reduction in agricultural output due to predicted below-average rainfall in H1 2025 supports a more moderate growth outlook. While the services sector remains a key growth driver, tourism encounters challenges from regional instability, even as tourist arrivals surged to 1.5 million in 2024.
