It was reported that other subsectors that witnessed growth in the primary sector included the \u2018growing of crops\u2019, and \u2018animal production\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><b>Rebounding<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The \u2018growing of crops\u2019 subsector grew by 9.3 per cent in the quarter under review, rebounding from a decline of 0.9 per cent, mainly benefitting from developments in sugar cane production. Similarly, the \u2018animal production\u2019 subsector grew by 2.4 per cent in the quarter under review, from 11.3 per cent in the previous quarter, owing to increases in both \u2018home and commercial\u2019 cattle slaughters. As such, the economic activity, as measured by the Quarterly Gross Domestic Product (QGDP), grew by a slower 1.1 per cent year-on-year (seasonally adjusted) in the first quarter of 2023, down from a revised growth of 6.7 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2022. The slight growth observed in the quarter under review was attributed to positive performance in the primary and tertiary sectors. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, economic activity grew by 2.5 per cent (seasonally adjusted) in the quarter under review, from a revised contraction of 0.3 per cent in the previous quarter. The primary sector grew by a slower 3.4 per cent, year-on-year in the first quarter of 2023, from a revised growth of 5.0 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2022.<\/p>\n<p><b>Tertiary<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The tertiary sector, accounting for approximately 61 per cent of total industries, grew by a slower 8.6 per cent year-on-year, in the first quarter of 2023, from a revised growth of 11.2 per cent in the previous quarter. The observed growth largely benefitted from increased economic activity in the \u2018wholesale and retail\u2019, \u2018accommodation and food services\u2019, \u2018information and communication\u2019 and \u2018financial and insurance services\u2019 subsectors. Activity from the \u2018wholesale and retail trade\u2019 subsector grew by a slower 4.1 per cent in the quarter under review, from 18.3 per cent in the previous quarter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
