Robust household consumption provided further support for the recovery and in several cases the year saw the start of a stronger trend in fixed investment as well. But the regional picture was not uniformly upbeat with more modest growth rates or even continued outright recession in some of the smaller or lower-income economies. As has been the case for some years growth in 2002 was strongest in the transition economies China and Vietnam where sustained strength in exports consumption and investment pushed 2002 GDP growth to 8 percent and 7 percent respectively.
