From a Demand perspective, the inter-annual growth of the economy continued sustaining internal Demand, which in the third quarter obtained 3.5% inter-annual growth and, in this case, was accompanied by a less negative contribution from the exterior sector than a year before. Total exports registered 2.8% inter-annual growth and total imports grew 2.6% and, consequently, the negative exterior balance fell by an inter-annual rate of 5.5%.
