In Q1 from Q4 2015, it was up 0.4%, according to preliminary data released this Tuesday (17th) by the country&rsquo;s National Statistics Institute (NIS).<\/p>\n<p>Industrial activity was up 1.4% year-on-year in Q1 and up 3.3% in Q1 from Q4. The NIS reported that the biggest improvements were in chemicals, building materials and the mechanical and electrical industries. <\/p>\n<p>Conversely, activity dropped in the food industry, mostly due to a drop in olive oil production early on in the year. Textiles, clothing and leather industry activity edged up by 0.7%. <\/p>\n<p>Base industries activity grew 0.9% year-on-year in Q1. Oil and gas activity was down 12.6%, partly offset by growth in mining, civil construction and electrical energy. <\/p>\n<p>Services sector activity climbed 1% after having dropped in Q4 2015, driven by postal services, telecoms, financial services and transportation. Activity levels plummeted by 12% in hotels and restaurants. Tunisia&rsquo;s tourism industry was badly hit by the terrorist attacks last year in the capital Tunis and the coastal city of Sousse. Government services activity was up 2.8%. <\/p>\n<p>Agricultural activity was down 2.5% in Q1 from a year ago after showing significant progress throughout last year. As was the case with the food industry, weak olives and olive oil production was a factor: production in that flagship industry for Tunisia fell by 60%. <\/p>\n<p><strong>*Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-181947\">Fethi Belaid\/AFP 22\/12\/2007<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gross Domestic Product increased in Jan-Mar from the comparable year-ago period.
