At the country level notable exceptions were countries like the Ivory Ccast, Liberia, Mauritania, the Central African Republic and Chad. 19. The distribution of fixed capital formation by kind of economic activity is qenerally very scanty and cften unreliable; it also varie·s from one country to the other dependinq on the structure of its natural endowments. In a small sample .of countries for which detailed 1900 data is available evidence shows that manufacturing received the biqqer share, amountinq in ·the case of Eqypt and Zimbabwe to 25.8 per cent and 20.9 per cent of the total respectively. Transport and communications sector is a close second with a share of 20.5 per cent in Eqypt, 19.1 per cent in the Libyan Arab Jame:.hiriya and 17.2 per cent in Kenya. Capital formation in aqric.Jl ture hc\1ever received only 8 per cent in Eqypt, 10.5 per cent in Kenya and 12 per cent in each of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and Zimbabwe. t-1ini nq includinq petroleum received considerable attention in Eqypt and Zimbabwe with shares of 12.6 per cent and 16.3 per cent respectively. If taken over a 1 onqer time frame commodity produci nq sectors (i.e. aqriculture, mininq and manufacturinq) would account fer about half of fixed capital formation, yet the contribution of these sectors to GDP qrowth has continously declined in recent years. 20. As reported in last year's Survey 6/ the problem is not the volume of investment rather than the -distribution and cost of that investment and the utilization of the capacity so created. Incremental capital output ratios (ICORs) are net only hiqh but also risinq steeply for all qroups of countries and for all in­
analysis: The text appears to be discussing economic development, specifically the distribution of fixed capital formation across different sectors of the economy. It mentions per capita income, GDP growth, and investment, which are all indicators of economic development. The text also touches on the contribution of different sectors, such as agriculture, manufacturing, and transportation, to GDP growth, which further supports the idea that the text is related to economic development.
