The stats bureau dropped numbers showing the economy expanded close to 4 percent compared to the same stretch last year. Agriculture bumped up its performance from the previous year, and the industry segment also posted better growth than before. Services kept pulling most of the weight at just over half the total output.
Oil production averaged around 1.64 million barrels daily during the period, which beat last year but dipped slightly from the previous quarter. The non-oil side grew faster than it did during the same window in the prior year, with crop farming, telecom operations, and real estate doing most of the heavy lifting.
