After dipping in 2009, GDP growth is estimated to have been 8.3 per cent in 2010.

The Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) is an indicator for economic activity. It reflects the percentage of purchasing managers surveyed in a particular economic sector who reported better business conditions than in the previous month. A PMI over 50 indicates that the economy is expanding while anything below 50 means that the economy is contracting.
