Mr Gerald Lincoln “ “L’inflation ne doit pas devenir une obsession.”

Mr Lincoln is off-track on inflation as he was recently on our level of public debt.

Most of our economists believe that present level of inflation in the country is much higher than 6.8%. We have every reason to believe their figures rather than those of Statistics Mauritius (SM) . All our prime institutions have been debased ,including SM, which saw its Director replaced, probably because SM’s forecast of tourist arrivals did not match the highly optimistic ones of the Ministry of Finance.

Zot foté, Zot fané, Zot rod éffas zot "écocide" ek re-ékrir listoir !

Profanation nou mémoir ; nou enkolerr !!!

Basing myself on some of the similarities of state capture and corruption in our local context to the findings of the report , I allowed myself to tentatively point out that:(many will not appreciate it, finding it too extreme or partisan)

Contradictions in the short interview of the CEO of MIC !

- Our rather-confused & uninspired CEO is now talking about profits whereas the ex-Chairman , our Marxist old boy ,was arguing that the MIC's mandate was to channel funds for building future capacity and that their primary focus was the Mauritius economy of care and love not profits. Which is which ?

The chatwa Economists commenting on the Economy and the one-off BoM Contributions to Govt !

Have a look at the comments of some of the chatwas among the economist breed ! They see the economy on the mend, on its way to recovery, though inflation and high unemployment among the youth in the absence of a meaningful reskilling programme, remain areas of concern. For them we have come out of the malaise , the FATF grey list ; the financial sector growth will see the best it has been in the past few years and we will return to our trend level of growth soon .
