Manning blamed for agriculture failures as economist says “Imbert tried”

The Minister of Finance tried.

This is the assessment of economist Roger Hosein following Monday’s budget presentation.

Using a cricket analogy he told Power 102 Digital’s Power Breakfast Show that Minister Imbert performed as best as he could.

He noted that there is still time in the game however for Minister Imbert to recover depending on decisions made going forward.

Dr Hosein also noted the attempt to increase capital expenditure which he said will increase jobs and aid the economy.

This as he pointed out that the country has seen a 20 percent decrease in economic activity compared to 2014.

He also defended claims that the Government was not doing enough for agriculture.

Dr Hosein said the decision to de-agriculturalise the country was made a long time ago.
