Laos economic growth 7.1 % ( 10/2008-3/2009), Agriculture 3.1% , Industry 12.5%, services 7.7%, Laos government plans to push the economic growth from the original plan 8% reduces to 7.5 % in the rest of 2009.
I think we should not rush into conclusion: There are still many challenges waiting for Laos. The unstability of world economic, the spread of diseases the war the politic unstability of countries near Laos and so on, will have a great effects to Lao economy, no sooner or later probably the end of this year.
