Critizism on economic sustainability
After our report from last friday about the need for a more diverse and sustainable economy that would make our prosperity last for years to come, leading economists and representatives of orharanian industries have begun to openly critize the government for their “lack of idea on current economic challenges” . CEO’s, Economists and Lobbyists have begun to get loud on social media demanding swift actions.
“Our nation needs plans to keep up with the world!”
Arash Rezghi, chairman of the Orharanian Guild of Steel Industry (OGSI), an interest group representing the nations steelworks, iron mines as well as similar heavy industry, has stated:
"Our governments inability to adress the nations economic state in a detailed manner is bordering to a refusal to work. They got lazy resting on the achievements that our nations is currently build on, ignoring the everlasting danger of economic downturn, mass joblessness and poverty. Our nation needs plans to keep up with the world! For that our industry needs specific plans from the government on what to invest in, what to change and most importantly on our relationship with our tradepartners. Whilst most of our neighbours are part of the CMEC and profit of the free trade in our region, we decided to just sit on our asses and watching them in this so called observer function! Orharans industry, regardless of our steelworks, the oil companies, our farmers or any other industry needs a future and that future can at least partially be found in the CMEC!
Of course this won’t help our nation with all of its economic challenges, however it is a start, we as a nation can build on. The OGSI therefore urges our government to join the CMEC and to create a detailed economic plan to create a sustainable orharanian economy.
What is the CMEC?
The CMEC or Cross Mediterranean Economic Community is an organization focussed on the creation of an integrated single market between the nations, surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, with nations like Livana, Stoinia or Sedunn being members. Since it’s foundation in 2022 Orharan is an Observer. The, back then, freshly established government surrounding Prime Minister Salma Iqabal wanted to use the status to analyze the economic effects of this organization. Whilst many studies have shown that the membership of the CMEC had consistent positives effects on the respective nations economy the orharanian government kept being cautious, fearing that especially orharanian rual regions and agricultural industries might be put under too much pressure by foreign farmers.
Even Workers Unions demand economic plans
However not only industrial lobby organizations demand a change in economic policies. The General Labour Union of Orharan (GLU), the umbrella association for all workers unions in orharan, has announced similar demands from the government emphasizing on the importance of economic stability and competitiveness for orharanian job and wage stability.
Reaction from the government is yet to be expected
As of now the government hasn’t officially approached the problem of our economy or issued any new plans. However many members of the liberal Party for a Liberal Orharan (PLO), which is currently holding 38 seats in the national parliament and part of the governing coalition, have openly expressed their support of joining the CMEC. The Economy was always a big problem in the government, with the PLO demanding a more marked-liberal approach on economic questions and the social democratic Renew Orharan and the Green Party of Orharan advocating a more restrictive and on social politics focussed approach on economic questions.
It is therefore unsure what plans the orharanian government will pursue in the future.
The editorial of The Economic Analyst promises it readers to pursue any new events surrounding this current debate!
