Economy
-------
Economic overview: The Czech Republic, which separated from
Slovakia on 1 January 1993, emerged from recession with 2.6% growth
in 1994 and 5% growth in 1995. Inflation in 1994-95 was cut in half;
unemployment was kept at about 3%; the budget was balanced; and
exports were reoriented to the EU. Prague's mass privatization
program, including its innovative distribution of ownership shares
to Czech citizens via "coupon vouchers," has made the most rapid
progress in Eastern Europe. About 80% of the economy is wholly or
partially in private hands. Because of its progress on reform, the
Czech Republic in 1995 became the first post-Communist member of the
OECD. Its solid economic performance also led Standard and Poor's to
upgrade the country's sovereign credit rating to "A" and attracted
nearly $5.3 billion in direct foreign investment to Czech industry
between 1990 and September 1995. The Czech crown became convertible
for current account transactions in October 1995. Czech companies
increasingly are using the international capital market to fund
capital investment, and foreign currency reserves totaled $13.9
billion at the end of 1995. Prague's biggest macroeconomic concern
now is limiting the inflationary effect of these large capital
inflows. The Czech economy also still faces microeconomic problems.
Prague has promised to strengthen its bankruptcy law and improve the
transparency of stock market operations in 1996, but some changes
probably will not take effect until some time after the
parliamentary elections of mid-1996 and will depend largely on
voluntary compliance. Prague forecasts a balanced budget, 5.5% GDP
growth, 2.8% unemployment, and 8.1% inflation for 1996.

Economy
-------
Economic overview: This thoroughly modern economy features
high-tech agriculture, up-to-date small-scale and corporate
industry, extensive government welfare measures, comfortable living
standards, and high dependence on foreign trade. Denmark is
self-sufficient in food production. The new center-left coalition
government will concentrate on reducing the persistently high
unemployment rate and the budget deficit as well as following the
previous government's policies of maintaining low inflation and a
current account surplus. In the face of recent international market
pressure on the Danish krone, the coalition has also vowed to
maintain a stable currency. The coalition hopes to lower marginal
income taxes while maintaining overall tax revenues; boost
industrial competitiveness through labor market and tax reforms and
increased research and development funds; and improve welfare
services for the neediest while cutting paperwork and delays. Prime
Minister RASMUSSEN's reforms will focus on adapting Denmark to the
criteria for European integration by 1999; Copenhagen has won from
the European Union (EU) the right to opt out of the European
Monetary Union (EMU) if a national referendum rejects it. Denmark
is, in fact, one of the few EU countries likely to fit into the EMU
on time. Denmark is weathering the current worldwide slump better
than many West European countries. Although unemployment is high, it
remains stable compared to most European countries.
