The Institution of Statistics reported that the national production had a slower growth in the third trimester, after the 4% growth during the first semester.

Besides energy, the other sectors have increased, especially construction, tourism and the health sector.

As for the demand, the economy has been helped by the increased consumption. The growth coming from investments has slowed down as well.

The final consumption of the population, which makes the main source of spending, has increased with 3.25%”, Ibrahimaj declared.

The GDP growth for the first nine months was 3.87% higher than one year ago, in line with the objective of the government and of the IMF, which predicted a 3.9% growth.
