Country Profile

Gujistan is a large populous country in Central Asia which is endowed with large reserves of oil and natural gas. Until a few years ago, the country was governed by a neo-communist regime, but that government was overthrown by a pro-democracy mass popular uprising in October 2003. Following the overthrow of the government, Gujistan was governed by a caretaker government whose main task was to draw a new constitution for the country and organize democratic election within one year. The new government that was elected a year later has embarked on an extensive programme of economic and capital market reforms. The government hopes that the reforms will not only transform Gujistan economically, but very crucially, will also underpin and consolidate the various pro-Western democratic and political institutions that were recently established and given accent in law by its Westminster-styled houses of parliament.
