Copper is a relatively red metal that has a very high electrical and thermal conductivity (among pure metals, only silver has a higher electrical conductivity at room temperature than copper) because copper artifacts discovered date back to 8700 years ago. Copper is probably the oldest metal used by humans. In addition to being present in various minerals, copper is also found in metallic form.

Its economic growth is about 6 percent, which seems appropriate for a war-torn country.
