The positive dynamics were supported by a simultaneous recovery of domestic consumer and investment demand and by increased contribution of net exports to the economic growth. Economic recovery has been significantly influenced by the starting conditions for recovery from the 2020 pandemic recession, characterized by a sharp fall in services and a decline, albeit less profound, in the goods sector. Other challenges were associated with volatile global hydrocarbon market, reduced external trade and disruptions in value added chains. In addition, longer than anticipated internal and external health constraints at the beginning of the pandemic increased the differentiated functioning of various economic activities.
