Strengthening Growth in Nicaragua

With the exception of the financial sector, which shows a negative trend, the country's monthly index of economic activity confirms the good results, especially for the trade, industry and farming sectors.

Tuesday, November 1, 2011

Nicaragua's Monthly Index of Economic Activity (IMAE) for August, just published by the country's central bank (BCN in Spanish) has recorded growth of 7.6%.

The financial sector was the only one to show a negative trend, although even this sector displayed improved performance relative to previous months.

Laprensa.com.ni reports part of the BCN press release saying that, "the country's agro-exporter profile and the high external demand for food products combined with rising international prices are having a positive impact on the Nicaraguan economy".
