GDP fell at a softer annual pace in Q4 2023 than in Q3. Absent a breakdown by expenditure, the accompanying press release highlighted that shrinking gross capital formation outweighed an increase in external demand. Meanwhile, the economy rebounded in quarter-on-quarter terms, marking the strongest reading since Q2 2022, sustained by external demand and private consumption. In October-November, retail sales rebounded year on year from Q3’s drop, while economic sentiment rose in the quarter. Activity should gain traction in Q1 2024, according to our panel. On the fiscal front, in January, the Constitutional Court rejected a legal challenge to the government’s pension reforms, boding well for fiscal metrics ahead. Meanwhile, the government floated a plan to increase flexibility in hiring and firing employees, which, if introduced, would support job creation.
