With the effects of the very disruptive strike actions in 2014 having dissipated further in the fourth quarter of 2014, combined with some positive multiplier effects which would stem from lower oil prices, our growth expectation for 2014 has been lifted slightly to 1.6% from 1.4% projected earlier. Considering the low base which will be established for economic growth in 2014, 2015 may see growth accelerating to around 2.8%.
