Gợi ý:
Before 1980, it is said the economy of Tango had been in ruins in most areas: Agriculture: -0.5%, Fishery: -0.4%, Forestry: -0.2%, Industry: -0.6%, Construction: -0.3% and especially people can see no activities of export in the country. In face of this underdeveloped situation, the Tango Government initiated an overall economic reform policies in the country. From the information from the table, we can say that since the economic reform, Tango country has undergone substantial changes, all branches of economy increased steadily.
- In agriculture, they iniroduced new and advanced farming techniques, facilities and equipment as well as new seeds, fertilizers and pesticides.
- In fishery, they improved the new advanced methods of fishing and aquaculture (nuôi trồng thủy sản). At the same time, they promoted the export of seafoods.
- In forestry, the government encouraged people to plant more forests and woods and conserve them as well.
- In industry, they shifted economic priority from heavy industry to economy of production and processing. And to speed this up and promote the export potentials, they opened trade relations with many other countries.
- In export, they opened trade relations with all countries in the world and encouraged foreign and domestic private investment.
By using these measures, the Government and the people of Tango gained great achievements in many areas of their economy. And their economy has steadily incresased since then: Export: 5.3%, rose 2.3% against 1980; Industry: 4.5%, rose 2.2% against 1980; Construction: 6.4%, rose 1.9% against 1980… As can be seen in the table, construction developed best, before 1980, it was only -0,3%, but in 2000, it increased to 6,4%.
In short, we believe that thanks to the economic reform, the Government and people of will gain greater achievements and developed miraculously from a poor country to a developing country or a very rich country.
