What about the future?Edmunds Rudzitis
SEB Latvia
2012-04-18 | SEB Baltic Household Outlook - April'2012 19
What’s ahead for 2012?
• The number of new jobs will be lower than last year. In Latvia and Lithuania unemployment is expected to decline further, albeit at a slow pace.
• A modest average wage growth, mainly related to increase in variable part (bonuses, premiums). Moreover, wage growth will be uneven within sectors.
• The slower economic growth will lead to lower inflation, however rise in energy prices boosts expenditure related to housing and transport.
• Borrowers may benefit from lower interest rates on housing loans, while savers are likely to see interest income dip.
