The economy will grow by 4.0 to 6.0 per cent this year, said the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI), sticking to its forecast announced in November last year, after weighing positive and negative developments in key external economies. However, the growth acceleration this year can be partially attributed to the low base set in the second quarter of 2020 when the economy shrank by 13.3 per cent - the worst in a quarter ever.
