Sir: Prominent half-page colour advertisements have repeatedly appeared this week in daily newspapers highlighting one year of economic turnaround by the government. The economic growth indicators as advertised are really impressive — if only one could believe them. However, the realities reflected in this week’s reports titled ‘Forex reserves decline’, ‘First vessel of imported wheat due on August 19’, and ‘Savings, investment fall in FY14’ belie these tall claims.Somehow, the government also takes credit for growth in inflation, from 7.4 percent the previous year to the present 8.6 percent, as well as increase in imports by $16 million, according to the ad, but ignores increase in electricity shortfall, increase in CNG load shedding, escalation in power tariff and higher unemployment rate, to name a few additional ‘growth’ factors.
