Net inflow

It is nice to hear our leaders every now and then talking about the need to ‘learn to live within our means’, but at the same time they celebrate loans, commitments, pledges and donations from just about anywhere and everywhere. There is also the element of dollars flying out of the country under one head or the other. It is the net inflow of external finances that affects the currency exchange rate. Let’s hope we will be able to strike the balance in the future.
