The basically agrarian nature of African economies finds reflection in the structure of exports9 which is dominated by a few commodities. This concentration .on. a handful of commodities makes African economies vulnerable to the vagaries of the world market9 a situation which is aggravated by a general trend of declining export volumes and prices. For this reason, a chronic current account deficit has become an enduring characteristic of the balance of payments of African countries. This inevitably leads to a decline in foreign exchange reserves. In 1984 for example, ECA estimated that these were only enough to finance two months of imports.
