Economic Report On Medina
by the Dovani Organization for Economic Reporting

  Medina, officially known as the Republic of Medina, with a population of around 90 million as of 5710. It is located on the Dovani continent, neighbouring Xsampa and South Dovani to the North and Yerrawa to the South-West. 
  The country is divided into 4 provinces: Modon, Al-Maram, Perin and Tippa. Geographically, Medina is  diverse, ranging from the mountainous North-West (home to some of the world’s highest peaks) to fertile plains, and a long coastline.
 The country is classified as a developing economy. With a nominal GDP of around 131.6 billion fleur and a GDP per capita of around 1300 fleurs. The country is a mixed market economy with private and state enterprise being an important part of economy. The country is rich in natural resources,the processing and export of which make up around 50% of GDP. The country also boasts large swaths of fertile land, especially in the western province of Perin. The use of this land has been made difficult by the lack of infrastructure and governance in the west, as well as the recent rise of the Abadii Liberation Army in the area due to increased crackdown by the government on Abadii religious freedoms.
  The country boasts a large labour force of around 20 million. Around 50% of workers have completed secondary education and around 25% of them would go on to reach tertiary level education. Around 70 % has completed primary education. Around 30% is classified as uneducated. The literacy rate stands at around 75%. Access to and quality of education is poor, with most children in rural areas lacking access to educational facilities. Most schools use outdated textbooks and suffer from a shortage of teachers and materials. Malnutrition is generally prevalent in the populace with around 73% unable to afford a healthy diet. Around 30% of children under 5 suffer from chronic malnutrition and 17% are wasted. Access to and quality of healthcare is also lacking. 
 Around 40% of the workers is employed in agriculture, 35% in industry and manufacturing and the rest are mostly employed in tourism. The economy is mostly dominated by two  conglomerates, Aramco and Medinco, as well as numerous state owned companies. The economy has been experiencing a rapid decline in recent years, in the wake of financial scandals, violent crackdowns on protests and the reemergence of insurgents against the state. The country also suffers from widespread corruption and weak governance in large parts of the country. Inflation and borrowing have increased drastically following the renewed insurgencies. The country has also been denied into regional economic alliances such as the DEAB, though it has received economic aid from Egelion.
  The economic and developmental situation in the country is tenuous and will require much reform and investment on part of the state. Once the political situation has been resolved, the government should seek to improve access to transport, healthcare and education in rural areas. It should also seek broad improvements in public services and transport infrastructure. It is recommended that the state improve it's revenue base by improving taxation efficiency. The state should seek development and investments into agriculture in the Perin region. The region is a gold mine for economic growth. It is also recommended that a more inclusive government is sought in order to curb corruption.
