The institution sees inflation <strong>cooling to 11.6% in 2018<\/strong>. Central bank interest rates are one way to fight inflation, but a more restrictive fiscal policy might affect loan growth this year, the report warns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oil prices are a double-edged sword: <\/strong>Expected increases in global crude oil prices might also make it difficult for the government to maintain its high rate of spending on further development as well as subsidies. Oil imports are also expected to increase by 30% this year compared to the previous one, the report states, warning that further increases might lead to greater austerity measures. On the other hand, higher oil prices worldwide might increase foreign currency inflows through remittances and foreign investment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exports growing: <\/strong>Revenues from exported goods and services are expected to reach USD 39.1 bn this year and grow to USD 43.9 bn next year, while imports are expected to stand at USD 69.9 bn and grow to USD 72.8 bn next year.
