Import (GS) 7.5 1.0 -31.6 -25.3 -28.4
GDP 2.6 -4.2 -7.1 -4.9 -6.0

• The contraction was attributed to the sharp fall
  in exports and tourism driven by a collapse in
  global demand during the worst recession, and the
  impacts of domestic political turmoil and the
  spread of influenza A(H1N1) that jeopardized
  consumer confidence and leading to a decline in
  tourism and consumer spending.
• Production fall in various sectors such as
  manufacturing (-11.4), construction (-2.7) and
  Hotel restaurants (-5.8)
