In 2010, electronics production is forecast to increase by 3.5% the country benefiting from the stronger than anticipated growth in the global economy but will show a modest decline in 2011 as economic activity slows.

Other important sectors are telecommunications (11.3%), computing (21.5%), radio communications and radar & navigational aids (11.7%) and components (23.6%).
