ted crops to only 4% of the land area. Industry is
mainly limited to processing agricultural products and light
consumer goods. The World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and
bilateral donors have provided funds to rehabilitate Tanzania's
deteriorated economic infrastructure. Growth in 1991-2000 featured a
pick up in industrial production and a substantial increase in
output of minerals, led by gold. Natural gas exploration in the
Rufiji Delta looks promising and production could start by 2002.
Recent banking reforms have helped increase private sector growth
and investment. Continued donor support and solid macroeconomic
policies should allow Tanzania to achieve real GDP growth of 6% in
2001 and in 2002.
