Industrial output rose not comparable in terms of quality and price. Young industry still does not enjoy the economies of scale and cost of production was higher than import goods industry. Young industry still has not got the full confidence of the public. Market remains limited and its production capacity is still below the optimum level. Restrictions on the entry of imported goods such as import tariffs and quotas imposed to allow industry to develop local youth and the ability to compete with foreign
