Current advancement strategies point unanimously to diversification as the ways to secure the stability and the sustainability of earnings levels in the future. Despite the fact that the states continue to lead the economies, diversification involves a reinvigoration of the private sector and as such necessitates the implementation of more comprehensive reforms. The paper, however, concerns the probability of diversification strategies being translated into action.
