Surpluss for a second year

Should signal an immediate start in overhauling present infrastructure and the investment in improvements and the creation of new ones. A tram/train system would not go amiss either.

Shall we hold on to hope?

    A tram/ train system is the need of the hour… wonder why is it taking so long? Hope they don’t decide when it’s too late 🙂

    1) Housing structure of the island
    2) (Car) Road structure/draining system
    3) Tram/Train/Underground system.

    Thank you!

    Umm Mahmood don’t want to burst your bubble but a current account surplus is different than a budget surplus…

    BURST my bubble Mike, I like to be corrected! As a neophyte in matters of economy, would you elucidate on the differences please?

  5. Mike

    Current account surplus refers to the trade balance of a country, and takes into account the imports and exports of the private sector.. the budget surplus refers to the governments budget.. they are two different matters

  6. mahmood

    Ah, so it’s just numbers? The account surplus is an intangible quality that cannot be practically applied?

  7. Mike

    Exactly, so a current account surplus does not equate to more government revenues

    So, if the country’s (collectively, including private sector) exports are more than it’s imports, doesn’t that mean more money coming in for everyone; government, fat corporate bosses and people? If it is so, then we all should be better off, also the government would have surplus tangible cash to spend on infrastructure, and give the petty change to the people.
