The results of the national accounts for the year 2025 show an improvement in national economic growth, which stood at 4.9% compared to 4.4% in 2024, according to the High Commission for Planning (HCP).
Non-agricultural activities recorded an increase of 3.9%, while those in the agricultural sector showed an increase of 8.2%, specifies the HCP in its information note on the national economic situation for the year 2025.
This economic performance, driven mainly by the dynamism of domestic demand, was achieved in a context marked by the control of inflation and the accentuation of the financing need of the national economy, reports the same source.
In real terms, the added value of the primary sector recorded a clear increase of 7.1% in 2025, supported mainly by the resumption of agricultural activity, whose added value increased by 8.2%.
On the other hand, the fishing sector experienced a sharp decline in its activity, its growth rate going from an increase of 8.8% in 2024 to a contraction of 13% in 2025.
The added value of the secondary sector, for its part, experienced a slowdown in its growth rate from 3.8% in 2024 to 3.3% in 2025. This development reflects the contrasting performances of the different branches of activity making up this sector, namely the extraction industry, whose growth fell from 11.5% to 7.5%, the manufacturing industry (from 2.1% to 1.9%), construction and public works (from 6% to 6.7%), the electricity, gas, water, sanitation and waste management sectors (from 5.4% to 0.6%).
Furthermore, the added value of the tertiary sector experienced a slowdown in its growth rate, going from 5.6% in 2024 to 4.3% in 2025.
At current prices, the gross domestic product (GDP) experienced an increase of 6.5% during the year 2025 instead of 8.7% in 2024, thus generating an increase in the general price level of 1.6%.
