Prudent, neutral monetary policy to continue in 2018

Top experts say debt remains biggest risk in the next few years

The government is likely to stay on course for a neutral monetary policy in 2018 and will not become more stringent than this year in order to stem a slide in economic growth, according to researchers of a leading think tank advising the government.

They said key financial risks lie in debt problems, which will require at least another three years to see a major improvement.
