About This Dataset
It covers agriculture, industry, services, and utilities along with GDP expenditure categories like PFCE, GFCE, GFCF, CIS, valuables, and trade. The data tracks quarterly fluctuations in absolute values, growth rates, and sectoral contributions to GDP. It highlights key shocks (like the 2020–21 decline), recovery trends, and structural shifts across sectors.
Data Quality
The dataset is structured and consistent with clearly labeled columns. Some columns contain missing values, particularly in growth rate fields where calculations may not be available. Numeric formatting appears consistent across quarters.
Use Cases
Macroeconomic analysis, sectoral growth studies, economic forecasting models, GDP trend visualization, policy analysis, and academic economic research.
Limitations
The dataset includes a limited number of rows representing aggregated sectors rather than granular industries. Some rate columns contain missing values. It also lacks metadata about calculation methodology or base year adjustments beyond the column naming.
Methodology
The data likely originates from national accounts compilation where sectoral economic output is aggregated quarterly. Values are measured at current prices and growth rates are derived by comparing corresponding periods across years.
