THE Presidency on Monday welcomed the Q3 Gross Domestic Products (GDP) figures released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) as a clear indication of ongoing progress in the national economy. It pointed out that the latest GDP figures had seen oil, agriculture and industrial sectors leading the charge. The Presidency added that the present administration welcomes the new growth figures, and will continue to work diligently on a daily basis to ensure inclusive growth, to which we have always been committed through the active pursuit of a raft of policy initiatives, past and present. “The positive growth in Q3 is consistent with the improvements in other indicators. As inflation trends downwards, and with the steady implementation of the ERGP, real growth should soon be realised across all sectors in a mutually reinforcing manner.”
