Read and answer Economic Development In most countries in the world, governments have made their economic plans to bring their countries out of poverty and provide happy lives for their people. In Laos, the government shifted economic policy from a central planned economy to a market oriented economy in 1986. In conjunction with the new policy, the government also opened the door to welcome foreign investors. Since then the private sector has played important roles in the growth of Lao economy. Foreign investment has increased in multiple of service and manufacturing sectors. A number of banks and tourist agencies have been established in big cities throughout Laos. The number of garment factories has increased rapidly since the labour cost in Laos is lower than in other countries in the region. As Laos is a landlocked country with 60% of land as mountains. This provides sources of water for hydropower dams. The Lao government takes this special geographical formation of the land to invest in hydropower dams for local consumption and exportation to neighbouring countries. Now the exportation of electricity has become the major revenue of the Lao government. As a result, the growth rate of Lao economy has increased gradually. According to the World Bank, the average growth rate of 149

Lao economy is 7% a year. However, the economic growth has aligned with the destruction of the environment; every government should consider the losses and the gains before making a decision to invest in economic development. Question: 1. Why do most governments in the world make their economic plans? ………………………………………………………………………….. 2. What policy did the Lao government shift from? ………………………………………………………………………….. 3. What did the Lao government do in conjunction with its new policy? ………………………………………………………………………….. 4. Which sector has played major roles under the new policy? ………………………………………………………………………….. 5. What does the Lao government do to benefit from the special geographical formation of its country? ………………………………………………………………………….. 150
