Economic History | Australia | Unfortunately, the post-GST slump in construction activity was substantially larger than the pre-GST boom, and as a result the construction sector recorded a contraction over CY 2000 of 24 percent; signs of recovery only began to emerge in early 2001. This fall was large enough to drag the overall GDP figure down with it, disguising what was otherwise a far more moderate slowdown in domestic economic activity over the course of 2000. Service sectors generally recorded strong growth over the year (e.g. communications, 8 percent; property/business services 9 percent, finance services 5 percent) as did mining (10 percent), metal products (7 percent) and non-metallic mineral products (24 percent).
