Macedonia’s central bank (NBRM) lowered its GDP growth forecast for 2015 from 4.1 percent to 3.2 percent, citing an unstable domestic economy and a decrease in metal exports.
“Exports and investments will primarily contribute to the newly-projected growth, but also household consumption,” NBRM officials said Thursday. Growth projections for 2016 and 2017 remain at 3.5 percent and 4 percent respectively.
