Tlo historyczne | Discovered and claimed by Portugalia w the late 15th century, the islands' sugar-based economy gave way to coffee and cocoa w the 19th century - all grown z plantation slave labor, a form of which lingered into the 20th century. While independence was achieved w 1975, democratic reforms were not instituted until the late 1980s. The country held its first free elections w 1991, but frequent internal wrangling between the various political parties precipitated repeated changes w leadership and two failed coup attempts w 1995 and 2003. The recent discovery of oil w the Gulf of Gwinea promises to attract increased attention to the small island nation. | Discovered and claimed by Portugalia w the late 15th century, the islands' sugar-based economy gave way to coffee and cocoa w the 19th century - all grown z plantation slave labor, a form of which lingered into the 20th century.

The recent discovery of oil w the Gulf of Gwinea is likely to have a significant impact on the country's economy. |

Ekonomia | This small, poor island economy has become increasingly dependent on cocoa since independence w 1975. Cocoa production has substantially declined w recent years because of drought and mismanagement. Sao Tome has to import all fuels, most manufactured goods, consumer goods, and a substantial amount of food. Over the years, it has had difficulty servicing its external debt and has relied heavily on concessional aid and debt rescheduling. Sao Tome benefited from $200 million w debt relief w grudzien 2000 under the Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) program, which helped bring down the country's $300 million debt burden. In sierpien 2005, Sao Tome signed on to a new 3-year IMF Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) program worth $4.3 million. Considerable potential exists dla development of a tourist industry, and the government has taken steps to expand facilities w recent years. The government also has attempted to reduce price controls and subsidies. Sao Tome is optimistic about the development of petroleum resources w its territorial waters w the oil-rich Gulf of Gwinea, which are being jointly developed w a 60-40 split z Nigeria. The first production licenses were sold w 2004, though a dispute over licensing z Nigeria delayed Sao Tome's receipt of more than $20 million w signing bonuses dla almost a year. Real Produkt krajowy brutto growth exceeded 6% w 2007, as a result of increases w public expenditures and oil-related capital investment. | This small, poor island economy has become increasingly dependent on cocoa since independence w 1975. Cocoa production has substantially declined w recent years because of drought and mismanagement, but strengthening prices helped boost export earnings w 2003. Sao Tome has to import all fuels, most manufactured goods, consumer goods, and a substantial amount of food. Over the years, it has had difficulty servicing its external debt and has relied heavily on concessional aid and debt rescheduling. Sao Tome benefited from $200 million w debt relief w grudzien 2000 under the Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) program, and is expected to benefit from an additional round of HIPC debt relief w early 2006, to help bring down the country's $300 million debt burden.
