Construction and services showed 4.5% and 5.7% growth respectively.
Exports have grown 7.3% and imports 2.1% in Jan-Oct 2012, compared with the same period a year earlier.

The regulator’s press service also reports that 1.4% inflation was recorded in November. As a result, the 3.6-percent 12-month inflation rate remained unchanged continuing to come closer to the projected rate.

In the 2012 government budget, economic growth is projected at 4.2%, and inflation at 4 ±1.5%. -0–
