DPT-PDP-economic boostIn a bid to woo private sector, Druk Phuensum Tshogpa (DPT) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) have promised to inject billions of Ngultrum to boost the Country’s economy, if they come to Power.

Meeting with the private sector here in the capital yesterday, DPT said they will bring in about Nu.8.7 billion to redress the economy. Under the DPT’s Economic Action Plan (EAP), the amount of Nu.8.7 billion will address the immediate problems of rupee shortage and access to credit financing to Private Sector.

DPT’s officiating president, Yeshey Zimba, while speaking to people, said if DPT comes to power, they will formulate the policy and modus operandi of the EAP in its first 30 days in the office through extensive public consultation.

He said the EAP is expected to generate 7,200 jobs and improve the “ease of doing business” in the country within the first year of office.

Meanwhile, People’s Democratic Party today also met the private sector who discussed their Economic Stimulus Plan. Considering the importance loan is to private sector, PDP plans to inject at least Nu.3 billion within the first three months of their government.

PDP’s President, Tshering Tobgay, said the former government has failed to recognise the importance of private sector development and the contribution they could have made to the economy. He said in fact they were of more socialist in nature when it came to private sector in the country.

The Stimulus Plan of PDP, which came after analysis of the country’s economic situation, is also expected to address the ongoing rupee shortage.

The Economic Plan of both the parties comes at a time when the country is trying to recuperate from the rupee shortage. Among the hard hit were the private sector and particularly the construction business in the country.
