Growth was confirmed at 0.9% in Q2, driven by domestic demand while net exports were a drag. The monthly GDP series points to positive momentum between May-July, which should translate into a strong performance in Q3.

  • Mobility indicators have recently flatlined, although retail and recreation is above pre-pandemic levels.
