DGBAS lowers 2001 GDP growth forecast to 5.25%
The Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) has
lowered 2001 GDP growth forecast to 5.25% from 6.03% due to global economic slowdown.
DGBAS announced that 4Q00 GDP grew only 4.08%, for 5.98% GDP growth in 2000, lower than
the originally forecast 6.47%. We maintain our 4.5% 2001 GDP growth forecast.
