D. Governance: Sound Development Management

14. In 1999, despite a change of government, the reform process continues and this is indicative of improvement in governance. The transparency and openness with which information was exchanged and discussed at the National Economic Summit is another significant milestone in the development of sound governance. The commitment shown by the Economic Reform Committee in the implementation of fiscal and financial reforms is commendable. However, governance had taken a backseat over the last several months. With the new Government making good governance as one of its priorities, decisions in the long-term interest of the nation are likely to be made. It is expected that the new Government elected in April 2000 will support reforms and revert to principles of good governance demonstrated in 1999.
