* Bank of Latvia forecast December 2024 (data used for forecast: November 2024).
Bank of Latvia outlook:
GDP Growth: In 2024, GDP growth declined to negative 0.4
per-cent, influenced by weaker-than-anticipated
performance in the first half of the year and lack of
investment activity, with expectations of stronger growth in
2025, driven by private consumption, exports, and
investments. Government consumption remains a stable
pillar of the economy.
Inflation: Inflation was forecasted to remain moderately low
at 1.3% in 2024, with a slight increase to 1.4% in 2025.
Among the inflation-raising factors are also the government
decisions to increase excise taxes.
Unemployment: The unemployment rate is expected to
stay low - below 7 per cent in the coming years, supported
by improved employment expectations and economic
recovery, as well as improving external conditions.

QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE LOAN PORTFOLIO
▬ The amount of Stage 3 portfolio is stable. However, the Stage 3 ratio is decreasing due to the rapid growth of the loan portfolio
during 2024.
▬ As impairment provisions are made for the loans valued @ amortised cost, the graph includes data solely for the loan portfolio
valued @ amortised cost. For total loan portfolio, including loan portfolio valued @ fair value, the Stage 3 level is 6.6 % as of y/e
2024, lower than 7.8 % presented above.

Bank of Latvia outlook: GDP Growth: In 2024, GDP growth declined to negative 0.4 per-cent, influenced by weaker-than-anticipated performance in the first half of the year and lack of investment activity, with expectations of stronger growth in 2025, driven by private consumption, exports, and investments. Government consumption remains a stable pillar of the economy. Inflation: Inflation was forecasted to remain moderately low at 1.3% in 2024, with a slight increase to 1.4% in 2025. Among the inflation-raising factors are also the government decisions to increase excise taxes. Unemployment: The unemployment rate is expected to stay low - below 7 per cent in the coming years, supported by improved employment expectations and economic recovery, as well as improving external conditions.
