Especially important in this context have been supportive macroeconomic and wage policies, as well as taigeted fiscal and industrial policies aimed at ensuring that most of the income generated in the commodities sector is used within the country. The reason is that the benign distributional outcomes have, at least in part, depended on higher fiscal revenues resulting from soaring commodity prices.
