Description

Shifts in the garment industry, which powered development in the country, represent one risk; meagre currency reserves are another.

And the newsmaking history of BBC Monitoring’s radio translators.For full access to print, digital and audio editions of The Economist, subscribe here www.economist.com/intelligenceoffer Hosted on Acast.
