Macroeconomic environment in 2019
In the wake of global economic developments, the national economy slowed down slightly in 2019. The growth rate stood at +3.7% after +4.1% in 2018. This deceleration is rooted internally in the continuing security crisis in the North-West and South-West regions, combined with the fire at the National Refining Company (SONARA) in 2019. In terms of supply, 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 as against +4.4% in 2018. In terms of demand however, imports of goods accelerated from +9.3% to +12.6%. In terms of prices, the increase in production was accompanied by an acceleration of inflation to 2.5% in 2019 after 1.1% in 2018.
