Q: Having recently come to power, what do you see as your immediate economic priorities?
A: The first thing is to get the economic growth engine of the country going. That means ensuring that our firms are able to do business in an environment that is efficient, where they can get access to financing, where the regulatory framework supports business, where corruption is minimised, where there is public safety and indeed safety of property, where the court systems work to resolve disputes that are brought before them, to protect property rights, especially intellectual property, and to adjudicate contracts and conflicts when they are brought before them.
