 Suggested writing:

The Government and the people of Tango started their overall

economic reform in the mid 1970s Before that time, the economy of the country was in ruins such as: Agriculture: -0.5%, Fishery: -0.4%,

Forestry: -0.2%, Industry: -0.6%, Construction: -0.3% and Export:

0% As a result, the economy was under-developed, the country was

poor, the people led a poor life, production was stagnant

To solve the problems, the economic reform was applied in some

sectors of the economy From the information from the table, we can say that since the economic reform, Tango country has undergone

substantial changes, all branches of economy increased steadily :

Export: 5.3%, rose 2.3% against 1980; Industry: 4.5%, rose 2.2%

seen in the table, construction developed best, before 1980, it was only -0,3%, but in 2000, it increased to 6,4%.

In short, we believe that thanks to the economic reform, the

Government and people of will gain greater achievements and

developed miraculously from a poor country to a developing country

or a very rich country
