Consider including the time span too; e.g.,

or

or
We are expecting GDP to grow by 2% over the next six months.

No.
Write 2% or 2 percent,,
Not %2 percent.

Thanks! But how does the meaning of the sentence change when I put an indefinite article there?

"We are expecting a %2 GDP growth."
"We are expecting %2 GDP growth."

I see no real difference.

But your number is still incorrect.
