The main contributors to growth in the last quarter’s GDP were market services and agriculture, according to the KSH, while the performance of industry stagnated and construction continued to exert a downward drag. 

The volume of GDP grew by 0.4% compared to the equivalent quarter a year earlier, according to both seasonally and calendar-adjusted data.
