Christopher Hulse, Statistician II
"What quarter two of 2024 was, it's an overall increase of 1 .5 percent with increases across all three sectors. Primary went up 5.6 percent as we see the big tree crops rebounded and of course that leads to an increase in manufacturing and then we had high increases for electricity and water consumption so that went up by 8.4 percent and of course tertiary went up by 10.5 percent driven by the increases in accommodation, transportation and wholesale and retail trade."
