Sustaining Progress: Statements.

 

In order to give some sort of fig leaf to the inflationary aspect, the Government has set up what it calls an anti-inflation initiative, mentioned on page 71 of the document. It is the greatest drivel I have ever read in any document ever produced by any social partners. It talks about "aggressive efforts" and "target-driven approaches". There is jargon throughout which will not make a jot of difference to the inflation rate. The Government knows this perfectly well because it knows the document is contributing to it. This is its effort to apologise.
