The central bank noted that real economic growth slowed to 0.7% in the first half of 2015, down from 4.8% in the corresponding period of 2014. The slowing is largely due to a 17.4% contraction in the mining and quarrying sector, with lower prices for bauxite and gold (and falls in production of 14.8% and 16.2% respectively). The agricultural sector grew by 4% as a fall in output of forestry and fishing was more than offset by expansion elsewhere: rice production, for instance, was nearly 360,000 tonnes, or 15.3% higher than it had been in the first six months of 2014.
