    Guinea WT/TPR/S/54 Page 1 I. THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT (1) MAJOR FEATURES OF THE ECONOMY 1. The Republic of Guinea is a coastal country of West Africa with an area of 245,857 km2 and a population of 7.1 million inhabitants at the beginning of 1997. Except for the capital, Conakry, which has over one million inhabitants, the other main cities, including Kankan, Kindia and N'Zérékoré, have fewer than 100,000 inhabitants. Life expectancy at birth was below 50 years in 1995, with high rates of infant mortality and illiteracy (Table I.1).

With a Gross National Product (GNP) of US$570 per capita in 1997,1 Guinea is a least developed country. Formal activities are dominated by exploitation of the numerous mining resources with which the Guinean subsoil abounds (Chapter IV (3)(i)). Bauxite (the main mineral resource), gold and diamonds are currently mined on an industrial scale. These resources undergo little local processing but still account for over 90 per cent of goods-export revenue.

Increasing the role and turnover of national currencies in international economic transactions and payments would contribute to redressing the existing imbalance. BRICS countries’ experience indicates that effi cient currency internationalization can be reached by both forming a number of prerequisites and fi nancial and economic policies pursued by the authorities. Strengthening the BRICS countries’ collaboration and implementation of joint initiatives should help create favorable conditions for promoting a wider use of their currencies in international settlements.

    Culture and Change in Belarus

    East European Reflection Group (EE RG) Identifying Cultural Actors of Change in Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova Culture and Change in Belarus Report prepared by Yael Ohana, Rapporteur Generale Bratislava, August 2007 Culture and Change in Belarus “Life begins for the counter-culture in Belarus after regime change”. Anonymous, at the consultation meeting in Kiev, Ukraine, June 14 2007. Introduction1 Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine have recently become direct neighbours of the European Union. Both Moldova and Ukraine have also become closer partners of the European Union through the European Neighbourhood Policy. Neighbourhood usually refers to people next-door, people we know, or could easily get to know. It implies interest, curiosity and solidarity in the other living close by. For the moment, the European Union’s “neighbourhood” is something of an abstract notion, lacking in substance. In order to avoid ending up “lost in translation”, it is necessary to question and some of the basic premises on which cultural and other forms of European cooperation are posited. In an effort to create constructive dialogue with this little known neighbourhood, the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) and the German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) are currently preparing a three- year partnership to support cultural agents of change in Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine. In the broad sense, this programme is to work with, and provide assistance to, initiatives and institutions that employ creative, artistic and cultural means to contribute to the process of constructive change in each of the three countries. ECF and GMF have begun a process of reflection in order to understand the extent to which the culture sphere in each of the three countries under consideration can support change, defined here as processes and dynamics contributing to democratisation, Europeanisation and modernisation in the three countries concerned.
