According to the country's Department of Economic Planning and Development (DEPD) at the Ministry of Finance and Economy, the latest data showed a strong rebound in Q2 compared to the negative GDP growth in Q1 of minus 0.5 percent at constant prices year-on-year.

In Q2, the country's oil and gas sector contributed about 60.5 percent to the economy. The nation's oil and gas sector expanded by 8.7 percent at constant prices year-on-year due to the increase of manufacture of liquefied natural gas and methanol by 10.5 percent and oil and gas mining by 8.0 percent.
