Overview:
An extremely poor country by European standards, Albania is making the
difficult transition to a more open-market economy. The economy
rebounded in 1993 after a severe depression accompanying the collapse
of the previous centrally planned system in 1990 and 1991.
Stabilization policies, including public sector layoffs and reduced
social services, have improved the government's fiscal situation and
reduced inflation. The recovery was spurred by the remittances of some
5% of the population which works abroad, mostly in Greece and Italy.
Foreign assistance and humanitarian aid also supported the recovery.
Most agricultural land was privatized in 1992, substantially improving
peasant incomes. Albania's limited industrial sector, now less than
one-sixth of GDP, continued to decline in 1993. A sharp fall in
chromium prices reduced hard currency receipts from the mining sector.
Large segments of the population, especially those living in urban
areas, continue to depend on humanitarian aid to meet basic food
requirements. Unemployment remains a severe problem accounting for
approximately one-fifth of the work force. Growth is expected to
continue in 1994, but could falter if Albania becomes involved in the
conflict in the former Yugoslavia, workers' remittances from Greece
are reduced, or foreign assistance declines.

@Algeria, Economy
Overview:
The hydrocarbons sector is the backbone of the economy, accounting for
roughly 57% of government revenues, 25% of GDP, and almost all export
earnings; Algeria has the fifth largest reserves of natural gas in the
world and ranks fourteenth for oil. Algiers' efforts to reform one of
the most centrally planned economies in the Arab world began after the
1986 collapse of world oil prices plunged the country into a severe
recession. In 1989, the government launched a comprehensive,
IMF-supported program to achieve macroeconomic stabilization and to
introduce market mechanisms into the economy. Despite substantial
progress toward macroeconomic adjustment, in 1992 the reform drive
stalled as Algiers became embroiled in political turmoil. In September
1993, a new government was formed, one of whose priorities was the
resumption and acceleration of the structural adjustment process.
Buffeted by the slump in world oil prices and burdened with a heavy
foreign debt, Algiers in 1993 resumed negotiations with the IMF and is
on track to conclude a standby arrangement with the Fund in 1994.

@American Samoa, Economy
Overview:
Economic activity is strongly linked to the US, with which American
Samoa conducts 80%-90% of its foreign trade. Tuna fishing and tuna
processing plants are the backbone of the private sector, with canned
tuna the primary export. The tuna canneries and the government are by
far the two largest employers. Other economic activities include a
slowly developing tourist industry. Transfers from the US Government
add substantially to American Samoa's economic well-being.
