Economy

-------

Economic overview: Half of Egypt's GDP originates in the public

sector, most industrial plants being owned by the government.

Overregulation holds back technical modernization and foreign

investment. Even so, the economy grew rapidly during the late 1970s

and early 1980s, but in 1986 the collapse of world oil prices and an

increasingly heavy burden of debt servicing led Egypt to begin

negotiations with the IMF for balance-of-payments support. Egypt's

first IMF standby arrangement, concluded in mid-1987, was suspended

in early 1988 because of the government's failure to adopt promised

reforms. Egypt signed a follow-on program with the IMF and also

negotiated a structural adjustment loan with the World Bank in 1991.

In 1991-93 the government made solid progress on administrative

reforms such as liberalizing exchange and interest rates, but

resisted implementing major structural reforms like streamlining the

public sector. As a result, the economy has not gained enough

momentum to tackle the growing problem of unemployment. Egypt made

uneven progress in implementing the successor programs it signed

onto in late 1993 with the IMF and World Bank; currently it is

negotiating another successor program with the IMF. President

MUBARAK has cited population growth as the main cause of the

country's economic troubles. The addition of about 1.2 million

people a year to the already huge population of 63 million exerts

enormous pressure on the 5% of the land area available for

agriculture along the Nile.

Economy

-------

Economic overview: El Salvador possesses a fast-growing

entrepreneurial economy in which 90% of economic activity is in

private hands, with growth averaging 5% since 1990. Yet, because the

1980s were a decade of civil war and stagnation, per capita GDP has

not regained the level of the late 1970s. The rebound in the 1990s

stems from the government program, in conjunction with the IMF, of

privatization, deregulation, and fiscal stabilization. The economy

now is oriented more toward manufacturing and services compared with

agriculture. The sizable trade deficits are in the main covered by

remittances from the large number of Salvadorans abroad.
