Savings Rate Collapses Brutally

It has hit a 30-year low of 12%. How did we drop from an average savings rate of 26.4% between 1990 and 2004 to such a low level? Who's to blame? Bheenick or Sithanen?

Don't tell me beancounter has broken another record. He's the best! Let Navinchandra keep him as FM forever. After all, they are both doctors.....in dunno.

How dare you question his competence?

This guy has been an economist for 30 years. He can teach the world how to weather any storm but still peut mieux faire!

Ena deflation Maurice ou koi? Are interests rates negative in Mauritius now? Or is it the purchasing power which fell abruptly and Mauritians cannot afford to save now?

I don't understand. They tell us we're the 17th best place to do business in the world and savings fall by that much?

I am starting to doubt the rosy picture that the Finance Minister keeps on putting forward.

Suis assez surpris que Sithanen n'a meme pas parler de cette baisse drastique du taux d'epargne.

Si le taux a effectivement baisse par autant je pense que Ramgoolam devrait le dire de partir tout de suite et nommer quelqu'un d'autre a sa place pour venir avec des politiques economique plus raisonnable.

On merite mieux que ca.

It is not true that the rate of savings has gonen down. If it were Rama would have told us about it.

He practices 'la verite des chiffres'. Always.

Merci Rama. Merci Navin.

The outrageous persistence of the Government to tax savings is having a boomerang effect and they dare not acknowledge their mistake. The PM has been taken for a ride by his FM.

Enan plisiers problem ek Sithanen:

1. Son inkompetans massif -- ene coin Rs 5 ti pu fer mie ki li
2. So ego -- olier li akspete ki line fer lerer li fine kuver lerer-la ek ene pli gro dal enkor. Ek line fer sa depi Jul 2005
3. So arroganse -- maladie mo mem meyer. Si li ti mwins arrogan, li tia vine fer deba ek li tia petet trouver kuma li p trompe li. Ek tiva evite katastrof dan ki nu pe retrouve nou.

Si sa fine dure ossi lontan c ossi parski ena tro buku zurnalis ki pou ban interet korporatiste ou otre ine swa get lot kote ou bien pa fer zot homework kuma bizin.

Zot non selman ine avale la bwet, mais zot fine avale la ligne ek golet tou ensam. Chapo bas!!!
