While we protest the removal of subsidy on fuel, we fail to recognize a few more attacks on our demand and productive capacities: potential increases in VAT rates from 5% to 10% as well as increases in the import duties on rice and wheat and other essential commodities.
This will surely heighten the competitive risks faced by businesses.
What are your corporate plans to survive this impending onslaught? Recall that the reform events of 2009 up till 2011 swept many businesses away!! It is evident that many more will be gone in 2012. The answer depends on how we position for the year.
In this piece, I have tried to alert discerning businesses on how they can systematically design protective and competitive strategies that guarantees their resilience and consequent strong growth regardless of the heightening macroeconomic uncertainty.
