Fifteen states registered growth of volume in the Gross Domestic Product - GDP 2018 above the national average, which was 1.8%. Amazonas registered the highest growth: 5.1%. On the other hand, Sergipe was the only Federation Unit to lose GDP volume, with a drop of 1.8%, the fourth consecutive year with a negative result. The other 11 states rose, but below the national rate.
The data are from the Regional Accounts 2018, released today (13) by the IBGE, and produced in partnership with State Statistical Offices, State Government Secretariats and the Superintendence of the Manaus Free Trade Zone - SUFRAMA.
According to the IBGE technician Luiz Antonio what is the difference between computer science and computer engineering, the negative result in Sergipe is related not only to economic performance, but also due to adverse weather conditions in 2018.
'The lack of rainfall caused an abrupt fall in the agricultural output in the state and the agriculture lost 34.7% in volume,' he highlights. Another sector that had a performance below the national average and contributed to the drop was service activities, the activity group that grew the most in the national economy and was very influential, especially in states with less developed industries, which is the case of the Northeastern state. The Sergipe rate was below the national average (2.1%), growing 0.2%. The industry, although not being so influential in the state, also did not contribute, dropping 2.6%.
With the best figure among the states with the highest volume growth, Amazonas (5.1%) exemplifies the good result of the country's North. The region grew the most in terms of GDP volume, 3.4%. Roraima (4.8%) and Rondônia (3.2%) are the northern states that are also among the top five in the ranking.
