The preliminary annual national accounts for 2006 show a rate of growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 4.2% in real terms in 2006. In the provisional data from March 2007 the growth was estimated to have been 2.6%. The upward revision is mainly explained by a higher gross fixed capital formation and government final consumption in 2006 than was estimated in March. In 2005 GDP grew at a rate of 7.1%, almost unchanged from previous figure.
