In real terms, seasonally adjusted GDP in the 4th quarter of 2009 increased by 3.3% from the previous quarter. While government final consumption decreased by 1.1%, gross fixed capital formation grew by 16.6%, mainly due to one-off investment in ships and aircraft. Household final consumption increased by 1.4%. Favourable changes to the trade balance added to the 2.7% growth in domestic expenditure. Exports rose by 3% and imports by 1.5% in the quarter.
