Reshuffle may stir recoveryThe latest economic growth figures indicate it is time for the government to revamp its economic team. The economy grew just 1.6% year-on-year in the fourth quarter, decelerating from 2.6% in the previous quarter. An example of policy inconsistency that has affected state investment is the Orange Line mass transit route development. It is expected that a cabinet reshuffle will happen after the censure debate which starts today. It must be hoped that these changes can rejuvenate the economic team ahead of a tough remainder of the year.
