This paper is one of a series of Economic Performance Assessments (EPAs) prepared on behalf of the EGAT Bureau to provide USAID missions and regional bureaus with a concise analysis of selected economic growth (EG) performance indicators for particular host countries. The aim is to help USAID missions gain a clear picture of the host economy, as an input into the identification of possible strategic priorities for EG program interventions. The review uses international comparisons (“benchmarking”) to highlight major constraints, trends, and opportunities in areas such as macroeconomic management, trade policy, financial markets, the legal and regulatory environment, agricultural development, and others enumerated below. The analysis draws on the latest data from USAID’s internal Economic and Social Database (ESDB) and from readily accessible public information sources.
