Este intenso crecimiento contrasta especialmente con el comportamiento experimentado por el VABpm de las actividades tipo III, que entre 1997 y 2003 creció en términos nominales un 5,3% interanual. Esta evolución ha supuesto que la participación de estas actividades no sólo sea cuantitativamente más reducida, sino que además **se haya contraído** a lo largo del período.

Hi Lisa!
I often like to translate "contraer" as "diminish", esp. in financial docs. See how it works out for you!
Here are some ref pages so you can compare usage patterns and context to your own doc:
www.allbusiness.com/government/government-bodies-offices-re...
www.uk.reuters.com/article/marketsNewsUS/idUKN0928155620070...
www.bnb.be/doc/ts/Enterprise/Press/2008/cp20081208Enb.pdf
www.bof.fi/en/suomen_pankki/ajankohtaista/tiedotteet/2004/t...

www.pauta.us.es/pautadatos/publico/personal/pdi/838/11204/I...
www.kciinvesting.com/articles/8210/1/Part-II----Funds-Built...
Hope it helps (even if only to convince you that another one the great options suggested here is better - in these cases it is so often the context that decides the choice of terminology...) :-)
