Following a decline in oil production and real GDP in 2005, economic growth is estimated at 6u percent in 2006. Progress in implementing the structural reforms has been made. Official fuel prices have been increased to levels in other oil-exporting countries in the region, and private sector importation of fuel products has been liberalized.
