The monthly fall followed a rise of 3.1% in March and a 2.7% fall in February, while the year-on-year result was down from 6.2% growth in March but up from a 1.5% decline in February. The year-on-year result for April saw growth in seven sectors, with mining and quarrying posting the highest rise (+17.1%), followed by agriculture, livestock, hunting, and forestry (+10.9%). Eight sectors posted year-on-year declines, including fishing (-28.4%), and wholesale, retail, and repairs (-3.2%). The annual result was well below the 3.3% median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg and 2.2% growth projected ​by analysts polled by Reuters.
