- The gross city product, which measures all economic
activity, shrank 4.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2001,
while the nation had an overall growth of 0.2 percent during
the same period. The comptroller now predicts a 1.8 percent
decline for 2002, although the Mayor predicts there will be
a 0.1 percent increase. Moreover, although the Mayor
predicted the city’s economic growth rate next year would be
4.7 percent, the Comptroller estimates it will only be 2
percent.
