Summary: Lots of potential


Confidence, post-reformation
High GDP per capita, and it appears to be growing persistently Deterioration of the trade balance, yet some stability in the current account Legacy of debt Inflation curtailed, and holding steady

The way forward


Sustain momentum, in the midst of global economic slowdown
Public finances should be balanced with increased public investment

Real transformation, through poverty reduction strategies


Continued private sector development Long term view focus on reducing reliance on foreign assistance.

There is hope.
Though, is it sustainable?
