This was the weakest GDP growth since the third quarter last year on the back of heightening global uncertainty and ongoing trade tensions. Growth was mainly driven by rises in both private consumption and government spending, with net exports contributing positively, while fixed investment contracted further. On a quarterly basis, the economy grew by 0.9 percent in the third quarter, after a 1.0 percent advance in the June quarter.
