“Government is initiating measures to set the economy on a new path of growth, employment and transformation. We are moving swiftly to restore the credibility, stabilise the finances and improve the operational performance and governance at state owned companies”, said the President.
 
The President further said although under difficult fiscal conditions, “government is working to consolidate fiscal debt and rein in public expenditure”.
