Trends in Developing Economies, 1991

摘要

The third edition of Trends in Developing Economies (TIDE) provides brief reportson most of the World Bank's borrowing countries as of May 1991. The text is descriptive. It is mainly concerned with current events and the recent past in each country, but also places events in context by bringing out the distinguishing characteristics of a country's economy, its problems and prospects, and the principal elements of its development strategy. While the choice of topics may vary from one country text to another, recurrent themes are government initiatives in progress or under consideration, economic and social factors affecting development, and the external debt situation. Each country text is followed by a table of economic indicators. The third edition covers most World Bank borrowers, arranged in alphabetical order. Abbreviations and acronyms with wide application are noted at the end of the book.
