“If we do not correct the fiscal misalignments that led to the current economic downturn, our country will face an uncertain future and the peril of unimaginable consequences.”
He reiterated his administration’s commitment to free enterprise, free entry, and free exit in investments while maintaining the sanctity and efficacy of regulatory processes.
