However, historically the energy sector has been characterized by limited capacity to produce sufficient crude oil and natural gas to meet the demands required for the country's internal consumption, while the supply of electricity which used to be reliable, has been characterized by recent frequent shortages. This report provides an overview of the the energy sector and its linkage to the macroeconomy. It looks at the problems and distortions caused by the current, complex system of energy pricing and taxation and presents recommendations on subsidies, pricing and taxation. The report also presents recommendations for improvement in the following areas; petroleum and gas supply, refining, natural gas utilization and the power sector. Finally, the report describes the financial projections for 1989-1995, the potential impact of pricing policy changes, recommended changes in taxation and alternative investment plans to illustrate the potential magnitude of the changes.  Réduire
