Well, fact of the matter is the economy has come to a stand still. I have seen in my state, just one year ago there was such a money flow that Audi decided to open up a show room in BBSR. There was a real estate boom, the prices of land and flats were increasing by months. It was because of three types of income. Mining, Chit fund, IT, education. Now the situation is such that there are thousands of unsold flats, very low rental value and there by low income. You can sense all this when going to local hat and having conversation with people there.
Now, Chit fund is closed because it is fraud, mining sector will never be revived (I mean for export purpose of raw material) and IT sector is stagnate. There is also low intake of students in educational sector, there by letting the rental value of properties declining. And coupled with this the Govt. in order to increase it revenue is doing the opposite. Tightening the screws on business man/houses will serve no purpose. Give this tax, that tax, putting new type of regulation and all types of obstacle.
So I think in order to revive the economy, we have to invest heavily on infrastructure. Remove many of the obstacles but have a rein in case!!. If you build road, then it needs iron, cement. If you build buildings then it need same iron, cement, glass, aluminum, tile, elect, phd fittings and what not. These will contribute to growth of Ancillary industries. True labour rate will increase and there will be a shortage of labour. But watch out for bad elements!!
That's why we need Chinese investment but with eyes wide open!!
