After 7 years of transformation process, a macroeconomic improvements have been a achieved. However, the process of constructing a market economic does not rely solely on the macroeconomic changes. A success in building a market economy depends on the national productivity which leads to a competitive advantage and can only take place in the context of industries and business within the nation.
