The drop for the year was due to the shutdown of large parts of the economy in March and April during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, it revealed.

"Provinces are gradually relaxing restrictions, the vaccine rollout has quickened, and case counts have trended lower," it said, adding that looking ahead, the near-term picture is brightening.
