"The economy overall has show itself to be very resilient to the effects of Covid, with employment and output now back to pre-Covid levels.
"With most of the restrictions now removed and the strong dynamics that we're seeing int he labour market in particular the outlook remains very positive, we're forecasting strong growth in domestic demand of 7.1% this year, and around 5% in both 2023 and 2024."
