Current EBRD forecast for real GDP growth in North Macedonia in 2023: 3.0%
The economy rebounded in 2021 following a 6.1 per cent contraction in 2020, with GDP up by 4 per cent in 2021 driven by both domestic and external demand. Household consumption was supported by rising wages, credit growth and cash remittances from Macedonians employed abroad.
Although export of goods grew on the back of the strong manufacturing sector, its positive contribution to GDP was outstripped by a rise in imports due to the strong increase in domestic demand, rising commodity prices and dependence of production in the free economic zones on imported products.
