BENIN - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The economy of Benin remains underdeveloped and dependent on
subsistence agriculture, cotton production, and regional trade. Growth in real
output had averaged almost 4% before the global recession and it has returned
to roughly that level in 2011-12. Inflation has subsided over the past several
years. In order to raise growth, Benin plans to attract more foreign
investment, place more emphasis on tourism, facilitate the development of new
food processing systems and agricultural products, and encourage new
information and communication technology. Specific projects to improve the
business climate by reforms to the land tenure system, the commercial justice
system, and the financial sector were included in Benin's $307 million Millennium
Challenge Account grant signed in February 2006. The 2001 privatization policy
continues in telecommunications, water, electricity, and agriculture. The Paris
Club and bilateral creditors have eased the external debt situation with Benin
benefiting from a G-8 debt reduction announced in July 2005, while pressing for
more rapid structural reforms. An insufficient electrical supply continues to
adversely affect Benin's economic growth though the government recently has
taken steps to increase domestic power production. Private foreign direct
investment is small, and foreign aid accounts for the majority of investment in
infrastructure projects. Cotton, a key export, suffered from flooding in
2010-11, but high prices supported export earnings. The government agreed to a
25% increase in civil servant salaries in 2011, following a series of strikes,
increasing pressure on the national budget. Benin has appealed for
international assistance to mitigate piracy against commercial shipping in its
territory
