• {{timeframe}}: The forecast period (e.g., next five years, next quarter, next fiscal year, next decade).
• {{historical_data}}: Available historical GDP data or reference to sources.
• {{current_indicators}}: Latest economic indicators (e.g., unemployment, inflation, trade balance).
• {{additional_factors}}: Any specific factors to consider (e.g., demographics, global conditions, policy changes).

Instructions

1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Analyze the provided historical data and current indicators to identify trends and patterns.
3. Generate a GDP growth forecast for the specified timeframe, using a clear methodology (e.g., trend extrapolation, regression, scenario analysis).
4. Discuss influencing factors, risks, and potential policy interventions that could affect the forecast.
5. Present the forecast in a structured format with assumptions and caveats.

Output format Provide a report with sections: Executive Summary, Forecast (with a table or chart if possible), Key Drivers, Risks, and Policy Implications. Use clear, concise language suitable for policymakers.
