  • It was lifted by a 6.7% rise in financial sector NIBT. Gains here were led by “securities and commodity exchanges and portfolio management and miscellaneous financial investment activity”, whilst banks saw a 6.3% decline in NIBT owing to higher labour costs and provision for credit losses.
  • Non-financial sector NIBT still increased 4%, driven by “petroleum and coal product manufacturing” and the “oil and gas extraction industry” owing to higher prices of refined petroleum products and crude oil.
