PRESS RELEASE
Cordillera economy remains resilient in 2009
The economy of CAR accelerated from 1.7 percent in 2008 to 2.0
percent in 2009. The positive growths in industry and services offset the decline
in agriculture, forestry and fishery (AFF) during the year.
The
industry sector, which accounted for 60.8 percent of the region’s total
output, accelerated from 0.1 percent in 2008 to 2.1 percent in 2009.
Construction surged by 23.3 percent in 2009, from 6.9 percent a year ago,
due to the remarkable growth in public infrastructure. Mining and
quarrying further contracted by 8.6 percent due to the decline in gold and
copper production. The electricity and water subsector slowed down to 3.1
percent in 2009, from 6.7 percent in 2008 due to the reduction in power
generation. Manufacturing, the major contributor to industry, shrank by
0.2 percent in 2009.
