The economy’s return to positive growth is delayed and somewhat weaker than we had originally anticipated. As a consequence, we have revised our economic forecast down from 0.8 percent of GDP to -0.5 percent for 2010. But growth will rebound in 2011.

IMF Survey: The government has just announced new austerity measures, including a 25 percent cut in public sector wages. Was that really necessary? Franks: Well, the government found itself in a difficult situation because the revised forecast for the deficit for 2010 with no action would have put the deficit at about 9 percent of GDP.
