okr-10986-144002021-04-23T14:03:18Z São Tomé and Príncipe : A Country Economic Memorandum World Bank This report assesses the progress made by Sao Tome and Principe over the past decade, and presents a set of recommendations on policy and institutional change that might help the economy perform better in the future. This exercise is important, on one hand, in light of the need to manage the country's higher income expected shortly from its oil resources so as to make it the basis of permanent improvement in the lives of its people. After the Introduction, Chapter 2 reviews the country's recent reform and policy initiatives, its macroeconomic and sectoral performance, and the effectiveness of public policy during the later 1990s. Chapter 3 outlines the constraints to private-sector-led growth. It also analyzes the two sectoral sources that hold the most promise for economic diversification; agriculture and tourism. Chapter 4 examines the main economic development challenges the country faces in achieving growth and poverty alleviation: human resource development, economic management, continued institutional reforms, and capacity building. It provides medium-term recommendations for policy reforms to underpin the process of efficient and sustained growth and poverty reduction. In Chapter 5, macroeconomic projections provide an indication of Sao Tome's medium-term prospects. 2013-07-09T15:15:42Z 2013-07-09T15:15:42Z 2004-09-01 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2004/09/5873318/sao-tome-principe-country-economic-memorandum http://hdl.handle.net/10986/14400 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Country Economic Memorandum Economic & Sector Work Africa Sao Tome and Principe |

| description |
This report assesses the progress made
by Sao Tome and Principe over the past decade, and presents
a set of recommendations on policy and institutional change
that might help the economy perform better in the future.
This exercise is important, on one hand, in light of the
need to manage the country's higher income expected
shortly from its oil resources so as to make it the basis of
permanent improvement in the lives of its people. After the
Introduction, Chapter 2 reviews the country's recent
reform and policy initiatives, its macroeconomic and
sectoral performance, and the effectiveness of public policy
during the later 1990s. Chapter 3 outlines the constraints
to private-sector-led growth. It also analyzes the two
sectoral sources that hold the most promise for economic
diversification; agriculture and tourism. Chapter 4 examines
the main economic development challenges the country faces
in achieving growth and poverty alleviation: human resource
development, economic management, continued institutional
reforms, and capacity building. It provides medium-term
recommendations for policy reforms to underpin the process
of efficient and sustained growth and poverty reduction. In
Chapter 5, macroeconomic projections provide an indication
of Sao Tome's medium-term prospects. |
