For the whole of 2023, the economy grew by 1.2 per cent, moderating from the 3.6 per cent growth in 2022.

Sectoral Performance

The manufacturing sector expanded by 3.2 per cent year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2023, a turnaround from the 4.7 per cent contraction in the previous quarter. Growth in the sector was due to output expansions across all clusters, with the exception of the precision engineering cluster.
