On a quarterly basis, the economy stagnated compared to the previous quarter.
For the first three quarters of 2025, economic performance increased by 0.3% in raw terms and by 0.2% after seasonal and calendar adjustments compared to the same period of 2024.
The main driver of growth was the services sector, particularly the information and communication industry, which showed continued resilience.
By contrast, both industry and agriculture acted as drags on overall economic performance.
