Q: How did the Andorran economy perform in 2016? Did you feel any impact from the alleged money-laundering crisis at Banca Privada d’Andorra [BPA] in 2015?
A: In 2016, the Andorran economy made another step towards economic consolidation with an estimated gross domestic product [GDP] growth of 1.6%. This follows five years of recession from 2008 to 2012. We came out of recession in 2013. Growth has been slow recently but 2016’s predicted 1.6% improvement further underlines this positive tendency.
