In this case the ICT GDP for 2013 becomes 122billion against a downgraded 3.6trillion national GDP. This is different�compared to the estimates for 2013 based on current prices at 68billion ICT GDP against 4.7trillion. Attached is the two updated graphs - one with estimates based on current prices and another one with estimates based on 2009 prices. That ICT GDP estimate for 2013 using <b>2009 prices</b>�is almost double of�<b>current prices</b> estimate for 2013 is kind of baffling.</font></div><div><font size="4" color="#444444" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font size="4" color="#444444" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">@Osiakwan, Perhaps we should look deeper into the direct contributions and become proactive about growing the contribution - otherwise we remain a secondary economic sector.
