We know the world economy is going to recover; the western consumer is going to start consuming again, and we want to make sure that our exporters are there with the right products at the right price when that happens. It is a transitional device, a shared burden. We are not providing public money free, it is not a grant.
We are either taking over assets of the private sector, asking them to inject new capital and asking their own regular commercial bankers to provide some money as well. So this is very much a shared responsibility. One should expect no less from a responsible, caring, and concerned government, acting as a good paterfamilias.
