The revised annual national accounts for 2017 show a 4% increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in real terms. In 2016, GDP increased by 7.4% and by 4.5% in 2015. The economic growth in 2017 is mainly driven by a 7% increase in the gross domestic final expenditure. Despite a large foreign trade surplus in 2017, higher growth in imports compared to that of exports contributed negatively to GDP growth.
