Sustainable growth is vital for the country; for it’s wealth and GDP says former finance minister, Harry Kuma.
The minister for the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, Labour and Immigration (MCILI) voiced this at the Sine Die Motion in parliament on Thursday 19th Dec, last year.
He said from his perspective, there are four aspects to ensure sustainable flow of revenue for the government and sustainable growth in our country and economy.
Kuma said the first is diversifying our economy hence, by not depending on any single sector.
He stated that the second aspect is having quality infrastructure, pointing out that this is very important.
Kuma said thirdly, is human capital development and under this aspect we have to develop our expertise and skills.
He added that these expertise and skills are needed to support growth of our private sector to support the delivery of government resources, to be innovative and to be able to create growth and a sustainable environment.
Kuma said the fourth aspect is that growth must be sustainable.
“These are four features I believe we should work on so we can transform our country to be better and sustainable”
