Policymakers said that the economic growth is projected to 2.7 percent for this year driven by tourism and electricity, despite the recent weak outcomes in the mining and timber industries. The Committee noted that the annual inflation rate fell to 2.1 percent in May from 5.1 percent in May last year, mainly due to cost of food and non-alcoholic beverages, transport, and added that it is projected to be around 3.2 percent by the end of the year. The central bank reiterated that it will continue to closely monitor international and domestic developments and align monetary policy accordingly.
