      Economy Guinea

      Economy - overview:

       Guinea possesses major mineral, hydropower, and agricultural

       resources, yet remains an underdeveloped nation. The country

       possesses over 30% of the world's bauxite reserves and is the

       second-largest bauxite producer. The mining sector accounted for

       about 75% of exports in 1999. Long-run improvements in government

       fiscal arrangements, literacy, and the legal framework are needed if

       the country is to move out of poverty. The government made

       encouraging progress in budget management in 1997–99, and reform

       progress was praised in the World Bank/IMF October 2000 assessment.

       However, fighting along the Sierra Leonean and Liberian borders has

       caused major economic disruptions. In addition to direct defense

       costs, the violence has led to a sharp decline in investor

       confidence. Foreign mining companies have reduced expatriate staff,

       while panic buying has created food shortages and inflation in local

       markets. Multilateral aid - including Heavily Indebted Poor

       Countries (HIPC) debt relief - and single digit inflation permitted

       moderate 3.7% growth in 2002. Growth should strengthen in 2003

       because of a slowly improving security situation and increased

       investor confidence.
