In the first quarter, annual growth was at 3.2%.

The positive GDP growth rate is mainly due to the sectors "Hotels and Restaurants", "Transport and Storage", "Wholesale and Retail Trade, Repair of Motor Vehicles", "Information and Communication", "Construction", "Arts, Entertainment and Recreation" and "Other Service Activities".
