Quarterly GDP update: Oil sector pulls overall growth down in Q1-13
Oil Market ReportLatest economic growth data released this week show a real economic growth of 2.1 percent down from 4.4 percent in the fourth quarter last year. The slowdown was fairly broad based, with only government services growing at a faster pace than in the fourth quarter. Nonetheless, most sector of the economy grew with the exception of oil sector. We assume that year-on-year economic growth will ease further in the second quarter owing to lower growth in oil production. Other sectors of the economy will benefit from solid local fundamentals.
