Gold production is declining but may pick up again in the medium term. Almost all the other traditional sectors are yet to realize their full potential. Our agricultural sector sorely needs to be revitalized. The somewhat optimistic outlook for the sugar sector entirely depends on its restructuring program.
ICT has potential but at the same time, we need to put a host of things in place before we can see growth in this emerging industry. I know that this summary does not sound too optimistic. But there are potential upsides in the tourism industries, sugar and agriculture that if realized will change this outlook significantly for the better.
