The low level of social and economic development is also reflected in the
structure of the economy, in which agriculture constitutes about 50 per cent of
GDP and around 85 per cent of employment.
Such low level of development is also reflected in acute resource gaps at the
macro economy level, which made the country dependent on external financial
flows in the form of loans, grants and aid.
3. Policy Changes introduced to address these issues
The total debt accumulated reached 10.4 billion US$ by 1998. This
represents 149.5 per cent of GDP. The magnitude of the debt in 1975
was only US$371 million. More than half (US$4.744 billion or 54%) of the
total debt was contracted for defense purposes.
Clearly, the debt contracted until the 1990s was largely used for defense
purposes (54% directly contracted and 30% ) helped neither in improving
the productive capacity of the economy nor in alleviating poverty.
