Macroeconomic environment in 2019
In the wake of global economic developments, the national economy slowed slightly in 2019. The growth rate was +3.7% after +4.1% in 2018. This deceleration has its internal origins in the persistence of the security crisis in the North-West and South-West regions, combined with the fire at the National Refining Company (SONARA) in 2019. On the supply side, production slowed down in the primary sector by +2.8% in 2019 after +5.1% in 2018, and in the tertiary sector by +3.0% in 2019 compared to +4.4% in 2018. While on the demand side, imports of goods accelerated, from +9.3% to +12.6%. The increase in production was accompanied by an acceleration in inflation to 2.5% in 2019 from 1.1% in 2018.
