 | The national unity government, which took office on February 20, 1999, is determined to tackle the problems concerning reconstruction, the return of displaced persons, the rehabilitation of the government administrative machinery, the unification of the armed forces, and demobilization, and the reactivation of social services. |
| In March 1999, the joint military commission estimated the size of armed forces in the two camps at 10,850, while before the conflict the police and armed forces, not including civilian staff in the ministries of defense and the interior, numbered 5,000. |
| Macroeconomic projections for 1999 are based on an increase in exports of approximately 52 percent in value, a doubling in the value of public and private sector investments, up from the very low 1998 level, and an increase in consumption in real terms of approximately 6 percent. |
