Economy
-------
Economic overview: Although possessing major mineral, hydropower,
and agricultural resources, Guinea remains one of the poorest
countries in the world. The agricultural sector employs 80% of the
work force. Guinea possesses over 25% of the world's bauxite
reserves. The mining sector accounted for 85% of exports in 1991.

Economy
-------
Economic overview: Guinea-Bissau ranks among the poorest countries
in the world. Agriculture and fishing are the main economic
activities. Cashew nuts, peanuts, and palm kernels are the primary
exports. Exploitation of known mineral deposits is unlikely at
present because of a weak infrastructure and the high cost of
development. With IMF support, the country is committed to an
economic reform program emphasizing monetary stability and private
sector growth. This process will continue at a slow pace because of
a heavy foreign debt burden and internal constraints.
