Economic growth had averaged 4 1/4 percent annually in 2002-04, with domestic demand boosted by large migration inflows, wealth effects from rising housing prices, and income effects from high commodity prices. With slower growth easing resource pressures, inflation is expected to moderate, allowing an eventual easing in monetary policy.
