The services sector stayed the largest contributor to gross domestic product (GDP) with the share of value-add for this sector recorded at 57.2 per cent.<\/p>\n<p><b>Growth<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The report compiled by the Ministry of Economic Planning and Development highlighted that the country\u2019s GDP growth, in real terms, rebounded from the previous year\u2019s low base of 0.5 per cent. The domestic economy\u2019s real GDP growth was estimated at 4.8 per cent in 2023 and recorded E49.186 billion (E84.847 billion in current prices) in monetary terms relative to an estimated real GDP of E46.915 billion (E78.390 billion in current prices). It was reported that the industry sector\u2019s contribution (including manufacturing, construction and utilities) was estimated at 35.3 per cent, reflecting a 0.1 percentage point decline in 2023.Manufacturing alone contributed an estimated 29.6 per cent to total value added, compared to 29.9 percent in 2022. The decline in the performance of the manufacturing sector is partially attributed to high production costs, competition from imported goods, and the poor performance of the sugar industry in the recent past.<\/p>\n<p><b>Indicating<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Likewise, agriculture activity has continued to reflect strain, as the sector\u2019s value-add was recorded at 8.7 per cent, indicating a 0.5 percentage point decline. Primary activity overall value-add was estimated at 9.1 per cent, in the period. The economy reflects poor structural transformation, which has translated to higher unemployment and poverty rates.<\/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.
