Since the beginning of our meeting, the CSO has released its latest quarterly economic data. Its figure for 2016 is 5.2% of GDP growth which is about 1% ahead of what was anticipated at budget time so it is more positive. What impact will that have on the deficit, debt-to-GDP or the fiscal space for 2018? Has that been worked out yet?
