Inflationen er fortsat høj, rentefoden ligeledes, betaling går møjsommeligt, bankvæsenet lader meget tilbage at ønske, nationalbanken synes endnu ikke helt at have forstået sin rolle, handelen går kun langsomt fremad, myndighedernes greb om økonomien er fortsat stærkt, markedsøkonomien er endnu underudviklet.
Inflation remains high, as do interest rates; the banking system leaves something to be desired; the central bank does not appear fully to understand its role, there is little progress in the development of trade; the government's grip on the economy continues to be strong; the market economy is underdeveloped.
