In 2017, the Portuguese economy posted the highest pace of growth since 2000. Exports were the main driver of growth. Also domestic demand grew stronger than in previous year, benefiting from higher investment. For 2018 the BPI Research forecasts GDP to advance 2.4%, taking advantage of better prospects for global demand and benefiting from gradual reduction of main imbalances.  In this scenario, the GDP level will finally exceed the levels prior to the international financial crisis.
