Need to rebuild the confidence on investment.

The editorial has captured well the weaknesses observed in the economy and the reasons for ever declining GDP growth. The savings and investments in the economy have drastically fallen down because of the Paralysis observed in the Government's Governance and policy initiatives with severe adverse impacts on the infrastructure, manufacturing, production and distribution of food products .The cascading effect of malfunctioning of the Government has its cumulative negative effect in the confidence of investors both domestic and international who build the productive assets and help wealth creation. Hope the government would give a serious thought to the whole issue of investments and accept the valuable inputs given in your editorial for active implementation without further loss of time.
