The pride, patriotism, solidarity and unity of the Seychellois will make a success of the new economic reform programme, Vice-President James Michel said Tuesday June 24.Introducing the new Macro-Economic | |

Reform Programme to the NationalAssembly before members of the team involved in its preparation gave a very detailed powerpoint presentation, Vice-President Michel said these qualities were what had enabled Seychelles to be a successful nation since independence. He said that with this new programme there was now hard work to be done by people both in and outside government, but he was confident that success would be achieved. "Let us use our 27th Independence Day anniversary on Sunday (June 29) to reflect on all that we have achieved as a small nation, with pride and dignity, over this short period of time," Vice-President Michel said. "It is in this same spirit that I am asking the people of Seychelles to continue to work with determination and pride to build a better Seychelles for all Seychellois." Vice-President Michel said it was investment in the people over the past 25 years that had brought the country to its current level of development and a readjustment of the economy was now needed to prepare for further success. He said investment in the socio-economic development of the people had brought much success – a very low infant mortality rate, high literacy rate, education for all, a health system of very high standard and a very good housing programme – but had also cost a lot. He said this was the reason for the current economic difficulty and the people understood and appreciated all the development was for them. "They see where the money has gone and they understand very well why we now need the reform programme to shape up the economy," Vice-President Michel said. He added that the population understood that the reform would bring them much more progress and that was why the programme had been well appreciated since it was launched during the Extraordinary Congress of the Seychelles People's Progressive Front (SPPF) last Saturday June 21 . It is to be noted that the programme has been realised after extensive consultations with all sections of the community, including businesses and politicians.
