Then we have calculated the index of the total factor productivity (Tfp) on the basis of the part of the factors of the production in the section of the devebpment. And at last, we have explored the key and determining factors of the of the total factor productivity of the section in the model of the related model. The results of this research show that the development of the capital stock per capita, the medium development the years of the education and the real exchange rate have the positive and meaningful effect on the total factor productivity, whereas the inflation rate has the negative and meaningful effect.
