Economic growth ticks up in Q4
Economic growth picked up slightly in the fourth quarter, with GDP expanding 0.3% on an annual basis (Q3: +0.1% year on year). On a seasonally adjusted quarter-on-quarter basis, economic activity shrank by 0.3%, weakening from Q3’s flat reading.
Absent a detailed breakdown, Q4’s improvement was likely supported by private spending: Inflation cooled sharply in the quarter and consumer confidence rebounded in Q4 compared to Q3, underpinning stable retail sales in October–November. That said, still-elevated interest rates likely restrained investment, while goods exports data up to November points to persistent headwinds to external demand in the quarter.
