Socialism \So"cial*ism\, n. [Cf.

The word, however,                is used with a great variety of meaning, . . . even by                economists and learned critics. The general tendency is                to regard as socialistic any interference undertaken by                society on behalf of the poor, . . . radical social                reform which disturbs the present system of private                property . . . The tendency of the present socialism is                more and more to ally itself with the most advanced                democracy.                                             --Encyc.

In recent years the government has    encouraged foreign investment in order to upgrade hotels and other    services. At the same time, the government has moved to reduce the    high dependence on tourism by promoting the development of farming,    fishing, and small-scale manufacturing. The vulnerability of the    tourist sector was illustrated by the sharp drop in 1991-92 due    largely to the Gulf war. Although the industry has rebounded, the    government recognizes the continuing need for upgrading the sector in    the face of stiff international competition.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $430 million (1993    est.)       National product real growth rate: -2% (1993 est.)       National product per capita: $6,000 (1993 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 3.9% (1993 est.)       Unemployment rate: 9% (1987)       Budget:    revenues: $227.4 million    expenditures: $263 million, including capital expenditures of $54    million (1993 est.)       Exports: $50 million (f.o.b., 1993 est.)    commodities: fish, cinnamon bark, copra, petroleum products    (re-exports)    partners: France 43%, UK 22%, Reunion 11%, (1992)       Imports: $261 million (f.o.b., 1993 est.)    commodities: manufactured goods, food, petroleum products, tobacco,    beverages, machinery and transportation equipment    partners: Singapore 16%, Bahrain 16%, South Africa, 14%, UK 13% (1992)       External debt: $181 million (1993 est.)       Industrial production: growth rate 4% (1992); accounts for 12% of GDP       Electricity:    capacity: 30,000 kW    production: 110 million kWh    consumption per capita: 1,399 kWh (1993)       Industries: tourism, processing of coconut and vanilla, fishing, coir    rope factory, boat building, printing, furniture, beverage       Agriculture: accounts for 5% of GDP, mostly subsistence farming; cash    crops - coconuts, cinnamon, vanilla; other products - sweet potatoes,    cassava, bananas; broiler chickens; large share of food needs    imported; expansion of tuna fishing under way       Economic aid:    recipient: US commitments, including Ex-Im (FY78-89), $26 million;    Western (non-US) countries, ODA and OOF bilateral commitments    (1978-89), $315 million; OPEC bilateral aid (1979-89), $5 million;    Communist countries (1970-89), $60 million       Currency: 1 Seychelles rupee (SRe) = 100 cents       Exchange rates: Seychelles rupees (SRe) per US$1 - 4.9371 (January    1995), 5.0559 (1994), 5.1815 (1993), 5.1220 (1992), 5.2893 (1991),    5.3369 (1990)       Fiscal year: calendar year       Seychelles:Transportation       Railroads: 0 km       Highways:    total: 260 km    paved: 160 km    unpaved: crushed stone, earth 100 km       Ports: Victoria       Merchant marine: none       Airports:    total: 14    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 1    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 5    with paved runways under 914 m: 6    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 2       Seychelles:Communications       Telephone system: 13,000 telephones; direct radio communications with    adjacent islands and African coastal countries    local: NA    intercity: radio communications    international: 1 INTELSAT (Indian Ocean) earth station       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 2, FM 0, shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 2    televisions: NA       Seychelles:Defense Forces       Branches: Army, Coast Guard, Marines, National Guard, Presidential    Protection Unit, Police Force       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 19,829; males fit for military    service 10,099 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $12 million, 4% of    GDP (1990 est.)
