THE construction sector plays a vital part in the Scottish economy. Not only is it tasked with adding to and upgrading the physical infrastructure of the country, it also contributes about GBP 10 billion - or 10 per cent - to Scotland's gross domestic product figure. Some 250,000 people earn their living directly from the sector, giving it an even bigger economic "footprint" than agriculture has. According to the National Accounts for Scotland, the latest issue of which is based on 1997 figures, the built environment of Scotland, which is, of course, the direct result of the efforts of the construction sector, has a replacement value in excess of GBP 200bn.

There have been further signs that the official optimism over growth this year will be justified. The earlier official GDP growth forecast of 5.4% has been supported by the central bank, which sees growth of over 5%, while the government and the IMF are now talking of something over 6%. The driving force will be a rebound in agriculture, which contracted by over 16% last year as a result of drought and resulted in GDP growth of only 1.6% (although planning commission figures show just 0.9%). Supporting the recovery in agriculture is a better showing by the important textiles and clothing industry, which now appears to be weathering the problems caused by loss of competitiveness and rising competition in selling into the EU. Trade data for the first three months of 2006 show exports of f...

Ahead of the 15 June budget, the annual economic survey from the planning and national development ministry is meant to set the scene for revenue collection and policy for the year ahead. However, this survey takes a decidedly upbeat view of developments that is not fully justified in our view, reporting GDP growth of 5.8% last year, with agricultural sector growth at 6.7% despite the impact of drought, and projecting 5.5-6.0% for 2006. Both these forecasts are significantly above earlier projections - the CBK still sees 2005 growth at 5.2% but has yet to produce any sectoral breakdown. Although some sectors have been buoyant, most notably tourism which is growing at around 18% and construction, other CBK monthly data do not appear to bear out such planning ministry optimism. The IMF re...

The decline in farm incomes in 2004 highlights the trend towards a small number of rich landowners and companies dominating the countryside the Liberal Democrats have warned. The comments follow the publication of Government figures announcing that total income for farming in the UK dropped by 8.1pc in real terms in 2004.

Natural resources in Nigeria needs sound management for their sustainability and development of the country. The realization that more needs to be done to translate the potential benefits of natural resources into broad-based socio-economic development of Nigeria motivated this study. Despite this realization, the necessary policies and concrete actions are not integrated at present. Indeed, natural resources constitute the base for the infrastructure and energy needs of society, the industrial sector, urban development and social well being of the people. However, these contributions are contingent on the fulfillment of critical conditions, chiefly, improving governance and transparency, and eliminating corruption. This paper using various sampled data from government officials organiz...
