The last 20 years of economic performance constitute an inauspicious beginning for rectification. As perestroika advances and the Soviet economy becomes more decentralised, rectification is moving the Cuban economy in the other direction, so that the opportunities for strain in the Cuban--Soviet relationship are bound to intensify.

In February 1982, Cuba's Council of State approved legislation that authorized some forms of foreign investment in the island. The legislation was largely ignored by foreign business that for nearly a decade showed scant interest in investing in Cuba. However, in the 1990s foreign investment in socialist Cuba has increased rapidly. Gauges the economic significance of foreign investment in the context of the financial needs of the country; and touches on a number of issues that have a bearing on the further growth of foreign investment in Cuba. Concludes with general observations on the impact of foreign investment on the Cuban economy and prospects for the future. (Original abstract - amended)

Since the end of the Civil War in 1992, El Salvador has advanced on both the social and political fronts. Despite this progress and the recent reductions in income inequality, poverty remains high, largely as a result of low economic growth. This Systematic Country Diagnostic argues that the challenge in El Salvador is not to identify the proximate constraints to growth, but how those constraints are inter-connected and what entry points may help break what can be characterized as "vicious circles." The Systematic Country Diagnostic identifies three inter- connected vicious circles that hamper growth and shared prosperity: (1) a cycle of low growth and violence; (2) a cycle of low growth and migration; and (3) a cycle of low growth, savings and investment. Moreover, it also notes action on the identified entry points will require a "big push" (rather than marginal interventions) that help break the existing development dynamics. But this Systematic Country Diagnostic also identifies some strengths that El Salvador could build on to propel growth. Areas of opportunity include migration with the positive impact of diaspora on development, geographic and cultural proximity to large export markets, particularly the U.S., and an industrial base that can support an expansion of the tradable sector. At 20 percent of GDP the manufacturing sector is large by Latina American and by middle-income country standards.
