COVID budget: Can challenges become opportunities?

 To frame our discussions, I always find it useful to go back to that guiding North Star of Vision 2036 and remember what we are pushing for and to remember that our long-term goals will only be achieved by short-term efforts.

Though Vision 2036 is 15 years away, this is a very short time if we consider the momentous cultural shifts we will need to attain the aspirations of being a First World country that is globally competitive with a diversified economy and sustainable engines of economic growth, whilst promoting good governance and a sustainable environment, without forgetting the peace and security that is the foundation of our society.
