Financial indicators point to a noticeable pickup in worth added in the very first quarter, with industrial and building output driving development, benefiting from a additional easing of material bottlenecks, substantially declining power rates and favourable climate circumstances, the report stated.

“Customer sentiment is anticipated to continue its recovery in the coming months, while inflation-associated losses in getting energy continue to weigh on the economy,” the report stated.
