Weak international    prices since 1986 have caused the economy to contract and per capita    GDP to decline. A structural adjustment program with the World Bank    began in October 1990. Ethnic-based insurgency since 1990 has    devastated wide areas, especially in the north, and displaced hundreds    of thousands of people. A peace accord in mid-1993 temporarily ended    most of the fighting, but massive resumption of civil warfare in April    1994 in the capital city Kigali and elsewhere has been taking    thousands of lives and severely affecting short-term economic    prospects. The economy suffers massively from failure to maintain the    infrastructure, looting, neglect of important cash crops, and lack of    health care facilities.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $7.9 billion (1993    est.)       National product real growth rate: -8% (1993 est.)       National product per capita: $950 (1993 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): NA%       Unemployment rate: NA%       Budget:    revenues: $350 million    expenditures: $NA, including capital expenditures of $NA (1992 est.)       Exports: $44 million (f.o.b., 1993 est.)    commodities: coffee 63%, tea, cassiterite, wolframite, pyrethrum    partners: Germany, Belgium, Italy, Uganda, UK, France, US       Imports: $250 million (f.o.b., 1993 est.)    commodities: textiles, foodstuffs, machines and equipment, capital    goods, steel, petroleum products, cement and construction material    partners: US, Belgium, Germany, Kenya, Japan       External debt: $873 million (1993 est.)       Industrial production: growth rate -2.2% (1991); accounts for 17% of    GDP       Electricity:    capacity: 60,000 kW    production: 190 million kWh    consumption per capita: 23 kWh (1993)       Industries: mining of cassiterite (tin ore) and wolframite (tungsten    ore), tin, cement, agricultural processing, small-scale beverage    production, soap, furniture, shoes, plastic goods, textiles,    cigarettes       Agriculture: cash crops - coffee, tea, pyrethrum (insecticide made    from chrysanthemums); main food crops - bananas, beans, sorghum,    potatoes; stock raising       Economic aid:    recipient: US commitments, including Ex-Im (FY70-89), $128 million;    Western (non-US) countries, ODA and OOF bilateral commitments    (1970-89), $2 billion; OPEC bilateral aid (1979-89), $45 million;    Communist countries (1970-89), $58 million    note: in October 1990 Rwanda launched a Structural Adjustment Program    with the IMF; since September 1991, the EC has given $46 million and    the US $25 million in support of this program (1993)       Currency: 1 Rwandan franc (RF) = 100 centimes       Exchange rates: Rwandan francs (RF) per US$1 - 144.3 (3rd quarter    1994), 144.25 (1993), 133.35 (1992), 125.14 (1991), 82.60 (1990)       Fiscal year: calendar year       Rwanda:Transportation       Railroads: 0 km       Highways:    total: 4,885 km    paved: 880 km    unpaved: gravel, sand and gravel 1,305 km; unimproved earth 2,700 km       Inland waterways: Lac Kivu navigable by shallow-draft barges and    native craft       Ports: Cyangugu, Gisenyi, Kibuye       Airports:    total: 7    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 1    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 2    with paved runways under 914 m: 3    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 1       Rwanda:Communications       Telephone system: NA telephones; telephone system does not provide    service to the general public but is intended for business and    government use    local: NA    intercity: the capital, Kigali, is connected to the centers of the    prefectures by microwave radio relay; the remainder of the network    depends on wire and high frequency radio    international: international connections employ microwave radio relay    to neighboring countries and satellite communications to more distant    countries; 1 INTELSAT (Indian Ocean) and 1 SYMPHONIE earth station in    Kigali (includes telex and telefax service)       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 1, FM 1, shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 1    televisions: NA       Rwanda:Defense Forces       Branches: Army, Gendarmerie       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 1,792,326; males fit for    military service 913,711 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $112.5 million, 7% of    GDP (1992)

Agriculture is the most important sector of the economy,    employing over 80% of the work force. Coffee is the major export crop    and accounts for the bulk of export revenues. Since 1986 the    government - with the support of foreign countries and international    agencies - has acted to rehabilitate and stabilize the economy by    undertaking currency reform, raising producer prices on export crops,    increasing prices of petroleum products, and improving civil service    wages. The policy changes are especially aimed at dampening inflation    and boosting production and export earnings. In 1990-94, the economy    turned in a solid performance based on continued investment in the    rehabilitation of infrastructure, improved incentives for production    and exports, and gradually improving domestic security. The economy    again prospered in 1994 with rapid growth, low inflation, growing    foreign investment, a trimmed bureaucracy, and the continued return of    exiled Indian-Ugandan entrepreneurs.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $16.2 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 6% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $850 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 5% (1994 est.)       Unemployment rate: NA%       Budget:    revenues: $365 million    expenditures: $545 million, including capital expenditures of $165    million (1989 est.)       Exports: $237 million (f.o.b., 1993 est.)    commodities: coffee 97%, cotton, tea    partners: US 25%, UK 18%, France 11%, Spain 10%       Imports: $696 million (c.i.f., 1993 est.)    commodities: petroleum products, machinery, cotton piece goods,    metals, transportation equipment, food    partners: Kenya 25%, UK 14%, Italy 13%       External debt: $2.9 billion (1993 est.)       Industrial production: growth rate 1.5% (1992); accounts for 5% of GDP       Electricity:    capacity: 160,000 kW    production: 780 million kWh    consumption per capita: 32 kWh (1993)       Industries: sugar, brewing, tobacco, cotton textiles, cement       Agriculture: mainly subsistence; accounts for 57% of GDP and over 80%    of labor force; cash crops - coffee, tea, cotton, tobacco; food crops    - cassava, potatoes, corn, millet, pulses; livestock products - beef,    goat meat, milk, poultry; self-sufficient in food       Economic aid:    recipient: US commitments, including Ex-Im (1970-89), $145 million;    Western (non-US) countries, ODA and OOF bilateral commitments    (1970-89), $1.4 billion; OPEC bilateral aid (1979-89), $60 million;    Communist countries (1970-89), $169 million       Currency: 1 Ugandan shilling (USh) = 100 cents       Exchange rates: Ugandan shillings (USh) per US$1 - 1,195 (December    1994), 1,195.0 (1993), 1.133.8 (1992), 734.0 (1991), 428.85 (1990),    223.1 (1989)       Fiscal year: 1 July - 30 June       Uganda:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 1,300 km single track    narrow gauge: 1,300 km 1.000-m-gauge       Highways:    total: 26,200 km    paved: 1,970 km    unpaved: gravel, crushed stone 5,849 km; earth, tracks 18,381 km       Inland waterways: Lake Victoria, Lake Albert, Lake Kyoga, Lake George,    Lake Edward; Victoria Nile, Albert Nile; principal inland water ports    are at Jinja and Port Bell, both on Lake Victoria       Ports: Entebbe, Jinja, Port Bell       Merchant marine:    total: 3 roll-on/roll-off cargo ships (1,000 GRT or over) totaling    5,091 GRT/NA DWT       Airports:    total: 29    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 3    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 1    with paved runways under 914 m: 9    with unpaved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 1    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 6    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 9       Uganda:Communications       Telephone system: NA telephones; fair system    local: NA    intercity: microwave and radio communications stations    international: 1 INTELSAT (Atlantic Ocean) earth station       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 10, FM 0, shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 9    televisions: NA       Uganda:Defense Forces       Branches: Army, Navy, Air Wing       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 4,231,019; males fit for    military service 2,298,654 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $55 million, 1.7% of    budget (FY93/94)
