Key Quotes

“Weaker global and domestic demand will have weighted on activity. High frequency data have been on a downward trajectory, with for example sales of cars, consumer durables and passenger air traffic sliding. Separately, weak credit intermediation and softening business sentiment will have contributed to declining investment spending.”
