Eritrea--Economy
</title>
<article><source>CIA Factbook</source><hdr>The World Factbook 1993: Eritrea
Economy</hdr><body>
<p>Overview: With independence from Ethiopia on 27 April 1993,
Eritrea faces the bitter economic problems of a small,
desperately poor African country. Most of the population will
continue to depend on subsistence farming. Domestic output is
substantially augmented by worker remittances from abroad.
Government revenues come from custom duties and income and sales
taxes. Eritrea has inherited the entire coastline of Ethiopia
and has long-term prospects for revenues from the devlopment of
offshore oil, offshore fishing and tourist development. For the
time being, Ethiopia will be largely dependent on Eritrean ports
for its foreign trade.
