  1. “The current account balance for December 2023 reflected a surplus of $39.7 million”

    Article title says it was a $397m surplus in dec 2023 while the body of the article says it was a $39.7m surplus.

  2. Please do not go by the government’s figures. They fudge such figures to hoodwink the people. In any case surplus of a few million dollars does not mean much for a country of our size. Then achieving such ‘feats’ by making the common man’s life miserable is even worse.
