Business and Economy Review, no. 7-8

The real sector in July-August 2005 featured an accelerated industrial growth, mainly on the account of rapidly expanding wine-making industry. In the agricultural sector, a much higher harvest of cereals will lead to a bigger contribution of the sector to the GDP growth in second and third quarters, but also smaller prices for the producers. The more intense economic growth is indirectly proven by growing consumption of electricity, even though a certain part of this growth may be attributed to the unofficial activities. The constructions sector continued to grow rapidly, particularly in the urban areas.
