Real GDP decreased by 0.8% over the same period last year. Personal consumption was down 1.1%. Capital investment in company equipment fell by 3.8%. Imports decreased by 2.1%.

Negative import figures are linked to a global shortage of semiconductors, which has led to a reduction in the production of cars and electronics.
