This report focuses on Laos' development constraints and priorities as well as on the institutional and management aspects of the restructuring of the economy along socialist lines. Data limitations are severe; the objective of the report, therefore, is to provide a descriptive framework of the economy, using quantitative information primarily for illustrative purposes. The report describes the distortions to the economy wrought by the war and discusses the government's immediate efforts to deal with them, presents estimates of national income, and attempts to assess the major economic sectors. It examines the key issues relative to the evolving planning and management system, and analyzes the country's development objectives and prospects.
