| Summary: | This paper discusses the following selected issues related to the Sao Tome and Principe's economy: tourism competitiveness in Sao Tome and Principe-challenges and strategy, macro-financial linkages, private sector development, and challenges of small financial systems. Sao Tome and Principe has experienced significantly faster growth in tourism than most tourism-dependent small states (TDSS).

Sao Tome and Principe can do well with venture capital-type financing for micro, small-, and medium-sized enterprises. |
