One third of the 55 countries tracked by the <strong>ISI</strong> each year<br />
are Sprinters and include most of the countries of Latin<br />
America, Russia, the Philippines and Thailand. Like shortdistance<br />
runners, they each have the capacity to speed up<br />
for a period of time before needing to catch their breath<br />
and shift priorities because of economic, social and political<br />
pressures. Many of these countries are either in the early<br />
stages of privatization or have yet to move in that direction.<br />
