    South Africa at a Glance
    South Africa is the world's largest producer of gold. The Economy
    South Africa is one of the most sophisticated and promising emerging markets in the world. The unique combination of a highly developed first-world economy infrastructure and a huge emergent market economy has given rise to a strong entrepreneurial and dynamic investment environment with many global competitive advantages and opportunities. Formerly dependent primarily on gold and the extractive industries, the economy is now more broadly based, with manufacturing, the largest sector, contributing nearly one quarter of the gross domestic product (GDP). South Africa has modern financial and industrial sectors and excellent infrastructure. Government policy is to restructure the economy by encouraging export growth, lower tariffs in line with the World Trade Organisation and increased competitiveness. That process has already begun and long term Government objectives are to continue the transformation through implementation of the Growth, Employment and Redistribution (GEAR) strategy. The South African economy is one of the most "open" economies in the world, in the sense that foreign trade accounts for a much higher share of the gross national product (GNP) than in the case of many other countries.

    The Greek industry In spite of the problems of the international economic stagnation, Greece is today on the list of the 30 wealthiest countries of the world. Indeed, according to the most recent classification of the United Nations concerning the index of human prosperity and growth, Greece holds the 25th position in the world. Industry constitutes a significant portion of the country's economic base, and comprises a large number of small and medium-size enterprises, characterised by a high degree of flexibility and initiative. Major branches include food and beverages, clothing and textiles, shoes, chemicals and plastics, oil and coal products, glass products and cement. A major production sector, employing 24% of the nation's workforce, is that of agriculture. Food exports account for almost 25% of total export value. Although the agricultural sector is gradually shrinking in terms of numbers employed, new technologies applied are increasing its competitiveness. Additional investment in improving agricultural productivity will further stimulate the already dynamic food industry. Another small but fast-growing sector, that of high technology, offers many investment opportunities, mainly in the branches of electronics, telecommunications, biotechnology and information technologies.

    Country Info Greece Introduction Greece General Data Greece Maps Greece Culture ... Greece Time and Date Greece Economy Back to Top agriculture dominated the Greek economy, with subsistence farming predominating in many areas. Throughout the first half of the 20th century, Greece drew most of its income from the export of a few agricultural products, principally tobacco and dried fruit; from its shipping industry; and from money sent home by Greeks living abroad. Greece became increasingly industrialized in the period following World War II, benefiting from government policies that encouraged growth, along with foreign aid and investment. Greece’s most striking economic development of the postwar period has been its emergence as a major tourist destination. Greece became a full member of the European Community (now the European Union, or EU) in 1981. The country engages in free trade with its European partners and also benefits from EU grants and subsidies. Still, Greece’s economy remains one of the least developed in the EU. Greece has few natural resources. Only in the case of nonferrous metals are there substantial deposits. Of these the most important is bauxite, reserves of which amount to more than 650 million metric tons. Fossil fuels, with the exception of lignite of low calorific value, are in short supply. There are no deposits of bituminous coal, and oil production, based on the Prinos field near the island of Thasos, is very limited. The complex dispute between Greece and Turkey that developed in the 1970s over the delineation of the two countries' respective continental shelves—and hence the right to such minerals, in particular oil, as may exist under the Aegean seabed—shows no sign of being resolved.

    INOGATE Projects INOGATE Reports INOGATE Contact Points INOGATE Newsletters ... Yugoslavia ROMANIA - ECONOMY Transition Challenges Primarily agricultural before the World War II, the Romanian economy was subsequently transformed through a series of five-year plans and is now dominated by manufacturing; among the consequences of an emphasis on heavy industry were chronic shortages of consumer goods and severe degradation of the environment. In 1994 the gross national product (GNP) was USD 27,9 bln, or about USD 1,230 per capita, and had decreased at around 6% over the previous seven years. Transition to a market economy has been gradual. After the overthrow of the Ceausescu regime in December 1989, the domestic economy virtually collapsed, and exports plummeted. Economic reform programs introduced in 1990 called for devaluation of the currency, removal of subsidies on most consumer goods, and privatization of state-owned companies in order to move Romania towards a free-market system. By 1991 the estimated gross national product had fallen to USD 31 bln, or USD 1,620 per capita. In May 1994 the International Monetary Fund granted a USD 700 mln loan to Romania on the pledge that the country would decrease its rate of inflation (at 256% in May 1994) to below 100%. The budget of 1995 envisaged revenue of USD 8.1 bln and expenditure of USD 9.1 bln. From the mid-1940s through to the 1980s, foreign trade in Romania was a state monopoly. A programme of trade liberalization was instituted among other reforms in 1993 in an attempt to boost the declining economy. Exports were about USD 4.2 bln per year in the early 1990s; the principal items included fuels, machinery, furniture, textile products and chemicals. Imports, valued at about USD 5.2 bln annually, included crude oil and industrial equipment. The Soviet Union and other communist nations were Romania’s leading trade partners, but Romania has also significantly increased its trade with Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the United States, the United Kingdom and Egypt since the early 1970s.

    INOGATE Projects INOGATE Reports INOGATE Contact Points INOGATE Newsletters ... Yugoslavia REPUBLIC of LATVIA - ECONOMY Transition Challenges Being a constituent republic of the USSR from 1940 to 1991 Latvia was fully absorbed into the Soviet economic system. The country was forcibly industrialized, resulting in environmental degradation and rapid urbanization as people from across the USSR were resettled in Latvia to work in the factories. Since achieving independence Latvia has aspired to reintegrate with Europe. This widely held goal allowed the country's leaders to early on initiate economic reforms intended to establish a market economy such as found in western European nations. These policies allowed prices for goods to be set without government involvement; restrained government spending; and privatized agricultural land, small businesses, and banking institutions. The transition to a European-style economy was not smooth, however. The first difficulty was a severe shortage of fuels and raw materials, caused by the disruption of trading relationships resulting from the breakup of the Soviet Union. This forced Latvian enterprises to cut back or cease production, casting many of the workers into unemployment. After a sharp decline, the gross domestic product (GDP), which measures the value of all goods and services in the country, did not start growing again until 1994. A year later a banking crisis swept the country. Unwise loans and lax government oversight created conditions in which the nation's largest bank and some of its smaller institutions failed and were unable to pay depositors the money they had entrusted to the bank. The government restored confidence by creating a stricter regulatory system to oversee banking practices.

    Bilateral relations between Japan and Greece
    Overview
    Japan and Greece concluded the "Treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation" in June 1899. Japan had opened the Legation in Greece in March 1922, but it was temporarily closed later, because of the World War II. Upon tha conclusion of the San-Francisco Peace Treaty, Japan resumed diplomatic relation with Greece, which had been a member of the Allied Powers during the War. In March 1956, Japan reopened its Legation in Greece, which was promoted as the Embassy in January 1960. Japan and Greece have concluded the Agreement on the waiving of visas in May 1956, Agreement for Air Services in January 1973 and Cultural Agreement in March 1981. Greece opened the Embassy in Tokyo in January 1960 and the Consulate-General in Kobe in 1973. The latter was closed in 1981. In 1997, Mr. Dimitris Bacatselos was appointed as Honorary Consul-General of Japan in Thessaloniki. In 1999, Japan and Greece observed the 100 year anniversary of the diplomatic relations since the conclusion of the "Treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation", and a series of commemorative events took place in both countries, which contributed to the promotion of mutual understanding.
    High Level Dialogue
    As for exchanges of leaders, from the Japanese side, Mr. Kaifu, former Prime Minister of Japan, attended the events in Thessaloniki in 1997, which were organized by the EU-Japan Fest in the framework of Cultural Capital of Europe.

    SOME LEGAL ASPECTS OF OFFICIAL STATISTICS Situation as of September 1999 1. General The Greek statistical system is centralised. Almost all major government statistical work for general use is done at the General Secretariat of the National Statistical Service of Greece (NSSG). 2. Short history The most characteristic period in Greek statistics was from 1925 to 1940, when all ministerial statistical departments were merged. This centralisation led to the establishment of a National Bureau of Statistics. After 1953, the basis was laid for a modern statistical service. 3. Information about the national statistical agency Name: Legal basis: Decree-Act No. 3627 of 1956; Presidential Decree No. 1143 of 1980; Presidential Decree No. 224 of 1986; Presidential Decree No. 532 of 1991 (it replaced the Presidential Decree No. 545 of 1988).

Links Index The global business Globalisation has made the world a smaller place and has changed the way of doing business in OECD countries. But did you know that a significant part of global integration reflects trade within transnational firms and industries? By David Turner and Pete Richardson Economics Department Published on: January 24, 2003 With globalisation, not only are businesses exporting their goods worldwide, they are also producing them worldwide, often through complex production chains across several countries. Indeed, trade among different parts of global enterprises, such as components of a final product being manufactured by affiliates in several countries, has increased significantly since the late 1980s. Such global companies or industries can be found in a range of sectors, like designer fashion, automotive components, computers and mobile phones. International trade within single firms accounts for around one-third of goods exports from both Japan and the United States, and a similar proportion of all US goods imports and one-quarter of all Japanese goods imports. Few data are available for other countries, but given the increasing importance of foreign direct investment, it is likely that the importance of this intra-firm trade has increased at the global level.
