Real gross domestic product (GDP) outside hydrocarbons grew 2.6% from the same quarter of 2025. Hydrocarbon GDP, by contrast, fell 50.7% on that year-on-year comparison. The two rates do not mean that the whole economy moved in one direction: they cover separate sector groupings and refer to April through June 2026. The Council said regional disruption to trade routes and supply chains affected the energy sector and export flows.","The NPC identified real estate, finance and insurance, construction, and wholesale and retail trade among the activities supporting non-hydrocarbon growth. Real estate expanded 11% year on year, finance and insurance grew 8.3%, construction rose 5.5%, and wholesale and retail trade grew 6.9%. These rates measure the change in each sector's own real output. Sector growth rates are different from percentage-point contributions to the aggregate. The parenthetical contribution percentages in the announcement are not reclassified here. Without sector weights and the results for other activities, an arithmetic average of these four rates cannot establish overall growth. The sector rates therefore remain separate indicators; sharing a reference period does not give them equal economic weight.","Editorial analysis: Positive non-hydrocarbon activity alone is insufficient to establish that total output increased. Diversification can provide a buffer, but one quarter of growth does not establish that the buffer is permanent. Understanding whether expansion in property or finance reaches employment, productivity and household income requires detailed national accounts and a longer run of observations. Non-hydrocarbon industries can also remain exposed to the energy cycle through public spending, external trade, transport costs and financing conditions, even when their own production is classified outside hydrocarbons.","A year-on-year comparison avoids placing seasonally different quarters side by side, but it still reflects the base set by the same quarter a year earlier. The NPC release does not provide a seasonally adjusted quarter-on-quarter growth rate for Q2 2026. This report therefore makes no claim about the latest seasonal momentum and draws no forecast for the second half of the year.
