Conditions on the labour market are improving with a significant rise in employment in the formal sector, a drop in unemployment and stable growth of salaries in the private sector.
The public debt should drop to below the level of 55 percent of the GDP by the end of the year and the yields on state bonds have stabilized at levels which are close to historic minimums.
