The Department of Statistics has released preliminary estimates of
economic growth in 2013 as measured by the Gross Domestic Product
by production at 1.0% in real terms.
Compared to 2012, when final estimates show growth of 1.4%, the 2013
results confirm a deceleration of economic activities particularly with a
slower pace growth in the government sector and decrease in gross value
added of the Financial intermediation sector.
Economic activities increased by 3.5 percent in nominal terms from
about Ang. 1,764 in 2012 to Ang. 1,825 million in 2013. Overall 10 of
the 15 industries recorded growth in gross value added in 2013. The
highest growth rates were recorded in the Construction (8%), Trade
(6.5%) and Real estate, renting & Business activities industries (7.8%).2
The Construction industry saw a major improvement in 2013, with a
single-digit increase in gross value added in contrast to the negative
development experienced in 2012.
Although the Trade and ‘Hotels & Restaurants’ industries saw growth in
value added in 2013, this was less pronounced than in 2012.
