I will not attempt to summarize my thoughts on actions and solutions for each set of factors. But, I would like to end by emphasizing three key principles that have provided, explicitly or implicitly, a common thread running through my presentation. First, policies and strategies for growth have to be welfare-oriented.
Placing the well-being or quality of life of the key stakeholders – individuals or households here – at the centre of strategic thinking is the key to sustainability. Second, any policy or strategy must give due consideration to the risks involved.
