Finally, and to repeat, finance very
crucial as it may be, is not all. Even
more importantly, governance is
perhaps the key. It is a moot point
whether the state will continue to
indulge in shortsighted rent seeking
behavior or indeed will have the
courage to implement necessary
policies thereby demonstrating
visionary aspects of a real player?!
