Gross Value Added (GVA) - measures the contribution of a particular sector to the country's GNP; computed by subtracting the cost of production
inputs from the gross output of a particular industry. Total GVA does not include crude oil. Data from 2007-present were adjusted due to
NSCB's change of base year from 1985 to 2000.
