All figures are parsed from the Central Statistical Bureau's quarterly GDP time series at current and constant 2010 prices, and reconcile internally: the oil and non-oil sectors sum to GDP at market prices in every quarter. The year-over-year growth rates are CSB's own, cross-checked against growth recomputed from the levels; the quarter-over-quarter series, the implied deflator (nominal over real GDP) and the oil share are computed here from those published levels at full precision. In CSB's accounts the oil sector is crude oil and gas extraction and its incidental services — refining counts as manufacturing, inside the non-oil economy — and the non-oil line also nets financial-intermediation charges and taxes less subsidies, so the fifteen activities in the table above do not sum to it. The series is not seasonally adjusted: year-over-year comparisons are the reliable read, and part of any quarter-over-quarter swing is the season itself. Figures from 2025 onward are flagged preliminary by CSB and subject to revision; revised history replaces the whole series at each release — this page renders the 2026Q1 issue. · Disclaimer
