Annual Report 2014
Summary: Growth slowed to 2.8 percent from 4.2 percent, a fourth consecutive positive year held back by agriculture contracting 1.5 percent on poor weather and thin investment.
Key Findings
- Real GDP grew 2.8 percent against 4.2 percent in 2013, a fourth consecutive year of positive growth.
- Agricultural output contracted 1.5 percent after growing 4.3 percent in 2013, on unfavourable weather and a lack of investment in the sector, and this accounts for most of the slowdown.
- The secondary sector, pulled by manufacturing, grew 5.28 percent.
- Value added rose across almost every branch of the tertiary sector, notably trade, restaurants and hotels.
- World growth came in at 3.3 percent, as in 2013, with emerging economies slowing everywhere except India.
