The country intends to increase overall production by 40% over the next four years and to raise exchange-earning industrial exports by 60%, to $725 million a year. Finance Minister Pinas Sapir frankly called on the visiting group to use its "know-how and connections" to raise much of the $750 million in new capital that would be needed...
