7.9% Economic Growth For
Northern Mindanao in 2007 [July 28,
'08]  |
|
Northern
Mindanao posted a 7.9 percent growth rate in 2007.
The three main contributors to growth are the
Trade, Agriculture and Fishery, and Manufacturing
subsectors which contributed 2.4, 2.1, and 1.6
percentage points, respectively, to the over all
7.9 percent growth of the regional economy.
The
Agriculture, Fishery and Forestry (AFF) sector
accelerated to 6.7 percent in 2007 from 5.6 percent
in 2006. This is brought about by the robust performance
of the Agriculture and Fishery subsector which
posted a 7.1% increase relative to a 5.1 percent
in the previous period. The Agriculture and Fishery
subsector holds the highest share among the 12
subsectors comprising 29.36 percent of the total
regional economy in 2007.
The
Industry sector posted an 8.9 percent growth rate
in 2007; 1.3 percentage points higher than the
7.3 percent of the previous period. The Manufacturing
subsector, which held the 3rd highest share of
the regional economy at 22.57 percent share, slightly
accelerated from 5.8 percent in 2006 to 7.0 percent
in 2007. Construction posted the highest growth
rate among the subsectors at 19.6 percent, which
more than doubled from 9.1 percent in the previous
period. The region’s quarrying, however,
declined; bringing down the Mining and Quarrying
subsector to negative 5.6 percent in 2007.
