Links Introduction Turkey's economy has been boosted recently by the American rebuilding of its neighbor Iraq, having made deals with the United States Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) in Iraq worth $200 million, including $110 million in transport equipment like tanks and railway cars. [1] Though the US was aggrieved by the Turkish government's hesitation to commit military force to its operations in Iraq, stemming from its simultaneous roles of neighbor to Iraq and ally to its enemy, the US has historically played a facilitating role in the deals and disputes between the Turkish government and the international organizations such as the IMF, World Bank, UN and WTO, on behalf of Turkey. Turkey and the IMF With consistent GDP growth of 5.4% during the 1980s and 4.1% in the period 1990-98, Turkey gradually improved its position in the global economy; however, domestic political turmoil after 1998, repercussions of the Marmara earthquake in 1999, and the compounding effects of Russia's financial crisis abruptly led the Turkish economy to near collapse by 2000. [2] The government reached a US $10 billion agreement with the IMF in December 2000, as negative GDP growth and heavy inflation continued. The Turkish lira was floated in February 2001, leading to rapid devaluation and increased fiscal discipline. Indicative of the IMF's satisfaction with the government's handling of the economy, Turkey's stand-by credit was increased to US $ 19 billion in May 2001 in an effort to strengthen confidence, reduce inflation, buffer government revenues against the ongoing crisis, speed up banking reform and support structural reforms.

History B During the 19th century neoclassical architecture was the dominant style in Greece, reflecting the revival of interest in everything associated with the civilization of ancient Greece. Designers in the neoclassical style included Danish-born architects and brothers Christian and Theophilos Hansen, as well as Greek architects Stamatis Kleanthes and Lysandros Kaftantzoglou. Greek painting tended to be influenced by postclassical European models. Important Greek artists of the 20th century include Photis Kontoglou, who sought inspiration in the traditions of Byzantine art, and Theophilos Khatzimikhail, who painted primitive pictures of great originality. Nikos Khatzikyriakos-Gkikas, one of Greeceâs greatest modernist painters, was greatly influenced by

Listed as one of the richest countries in the world, it has also achieved top-rankings with regard to standard of living, life expectancy, overall health and housing standards. The high level of material wealth is partly due to an abundance of natural resources, and partly due to Norwayâs inclusion in the industrialization of Western Europe, as a result of its close proximity to the major markets. Norway has actively implemented the restructuring measures needed to achieve economic growth. Extensive trade and contacts with other countries have given Norwegian industry a foundation on which to develop an advanced economy. High investments in production equipment, improved and extended education as well as technical and organizational expertise in industry and public administration have also helped to promote growth. The Twentieth Century represented a period of continuous vigorous economic growth in Norway. Since the 1970s, the offshore oil industry has played a dominant role in the Norwegian economy. Only 21% of Norway is productive land (3% cultivated land and 18% productive forest). Norway is not a member of the European Union (EU), but participates in the EU common market as a signatory to the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement between the countries of the EU and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA).

Extractions: WINES - GREEK ECONOMY Web posted at: 11/01/99 20:20:38 (GMT + 02:00) Wine is one of Greece's most important agricultural experts, with the value of wine exports accounting for more than 50 percent of total beverage exports from the country. The balance of trade for wines shows a steady surplus, with exports during the last five years being more than 10 times greater than imports, even though there are some fluctuations in the size of th surplus.Despite these fluctuations, there is a strong upward trend for exports after 1984, with the balance of trade surplus standing at 15.4 billion drachmas. After 1992 , bottled wines took the lead in exports, displacing retsina and bulk wines as front-runners. Today approximately 18 percent of total Greek wine production is exported, though this percentage increases to 76 percent in VQPRD category.This means that a qualitative differentiation of the image of Greek wine in export markets has been achieved. At the same time Greece's exports markets are discovering the country's white wines ( 45 percent ) , where red and rose wines had dominated 37 percent. Table wines make up the vast majority of exports ( 75 percent) and VQPRD categories account for 8 percent of exports. Also high are exports of grape must, chiefly to France and Italy for blending with wines there, while exports of Greek sparkling wines remain negligible.

Extractions: INOGATE Projects INOGATE Reports INOGATE Who's Who Guide INOGATE Publications ... Yugoslavia REPUBLIC of ALBANIA - ECONOMY Transition challenges Albania emerged from the Communist era as the poorest country in Europe. Under the Communists, the state controlled all economic activities; private ownership and private enterprise were forbidden. Because the state tended to invest in heavy industry, the popular demand for consumer goods was neglected. Furthermore, the constitution did not allow other countries to invest in or aid Albania. On the other hand, there was little unemployment since the state guaranteed almost everyone a job. Results of Albania's efforts were initially encouraging. The Albanian currency, the lek, stabilized. Albania became less dependent on food aid. The speed and vigor of private entrepreneurial response to Albania's opening and liberalizing was better than expected. Beginning in 1995, however, progress stalled, with negligible GDP growth in 1996 and a 9% contraction in 1997. Inflation approached 20% in 1996 and 50% in 1997. The lek initially lost up to half of its value during the 1997 crisis, before rebounding to its January 1998 level of 143 to the dollar. Despite the setbacks of recent years, including the pyramid scheme collapse of 1997 and the influx of refugees from the war in neighbouring Kosovo in 1999, Albanias firm commitment to economic reform has been rewarded with encouraging macroeconomic results.

Extractions: GREECE 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). Law 2392/1996 (it modified the Decree Act No. 3627/56 as regards articles 37-42). Main tasks: * to collect, classify, process and analyse all data for national statistics needed by public services and government programmes, as well as data requested by Eurostat according to Council Regulations and Directives; * to co-ordinate the tasks of the divisions of the Central Service with the activities of the statistical services attached to the ministries, so that the country is supplied with a universal statistical programme, avoiding duplications, limiting expenses and securing the conformity, accuracy and general acceptability of data.
Extractions: , it is also difficult to estimate the average economy, since the last year was probably not typical. If the tablets shed light on a fully developed Mycenaean civilisation, they also report one year of probable crisis. Another important issue is the fact that we do not have a complete set of records for a full year, in addition the information about external trade, which took place , is extremely scarce and always indirect. Linear B documents are not clear on the internal society and economy, so that it is unknown who owned the land and finally they are a biased record because they refer to the central authority, the palatial elite, but certainly there was a local economy, made of everyday exchanges, very probably another economy not strictly controlled by the palace, or at least not reported by the saved tablets. An international economy certainly existed but it is almost invisible in the texts, maybe not recorded at all, an example of a parallel, undocumented economy. All this does not mean that we can know little or nothing from tablets, but surely we must be careful in our reading of them. If we cannot know the whole Mycenaean economy from Linear B tablets, at least we can understand some aspects of the palatial economy in good detail. The economy described in the tablets is closer to the earlier and contemporary Near Eastern civilisations than to the Greek world, and this also means that production and consumption were similar. In particular should be noticed the terminology of Linear B, possibly compared to terminology of Greek, as A. Morpurgo Davies
