Abstract

The expansion of demand and production clearly accelerated in 1999, supported by economic policy. Real GDP rose by almost 2¾%. Employment again increased noticeably, and the average unemployment rate for the year fell by about ½ a percentage point to ca. 11%. In 2000 the upturn will be faster and broader, with GDP expected to grow by about 3¼%. The situation on the labour market will continue to improve, with some employment effect expected from the beginning of the implementation of the 35-hour working week. The unemployment rate should drop to 10½%. Demand stimulus from economic policy will be weaker in 2001, but real GDP should still rise by about 3%. With continuingly active employment policies, the unemployment rate could drop to about 9½%.
