Topic: Let's imagine you were the president of your country, How would your Economic - page 3. (Read 714 times)

I would probably boost the exploitation of natural resources to fund some more advanced industries in the mid-term.
Besides of any of that, I think I would rather to act on the crime and lawlessness that can be found in many places of my lovely motherland.

Without crime I could eventually boost the touristic sector of the economy and not only depend on the exploitation of oil and other minerals.

Anyways, each one of us has a different vision on what an ideal case for the our economies would be...

I guess you'll be the only one on the forum doing this, but I'll support you. Accepting a volatile asset like bitcoin as a national currency will not bring any benefit, it will cause our economy to collapse faster because of its volatility. As citizens, we have always longed to be free from government control and bitcoin is really what we need. But standing in the position of government to be able to keep power and control the people, we need centralization. Because if we don't control the people in the country, everything will quickly become chaos and make the country fall faster.
Running and maintaining a country is not as easy as many people think, so all of us here will never get the chance to be president.   .

Being a president is a very big responsibility, especially regarding the economy, this is the most difficult challenge for a president, especially with the current global economic situation that is deteriorating, plus officials who like to be corrupt from the bottom up, this is really one of the trials and obstacles for a president to grow his country's economy as a whole.

I think Singapore is the best example for a president in developing the economy.
Example: Economy of Singapore

On the other hand, there are also other factors that a president can do, for example: reducing state debt or not having debts to other countries.

As well as we know the reasons: What makes the Singapore economy tick?

The way like the prime minister of singapore is what we need to do, if we become president.

One year wouldn't be enough to be the president of my country for me to be able to reform the economy. My country economy is in a deep shit because all the past government are only making this worst for the common man. They put laws that will only favour them and will make life more difficult for the citizens. All they know how to do is to steal the country funds entrusted to them without doing anything to liberate the economy and the citizens from poverty.

If I become the president,firstly, I will uplift the ban on crypto, so that the youths can go into crypto to assist themselves during the benefits on bitcoin. Secondly, I will remove all the leaders from seat and put in new ones that are willing to sacrifice for the country, if not whatever plans that I have will not be progressive, because these evil leaders might send assassins to assassinate me if I don't listen to their demands or dance to their tunes. I will also allow private investors to take over the production field and make sure that all our country oil refinery are functioning so that we can have full access to all the by-product of crude oil.

I hate politics and mostly I hate a lot of job and pressure.  So never think a scenario that I am the president of the country even once.  Sure I have lots of things in mind that can be able to help incrase the economic strength of a country but the moment I start visualizing the process, the simple idea becomes more complex the nearer it is to the goal. But assuming I am then I think I will enjoy my time giving ideas and commanding my subordinate to make a feasibility study about the idea and see if it is realistic.  Btw, I will never accept Bitcoin as national currency because I don't want my nation's economy be dictated by the Bitcoin whales.

Being a president of a nation isn’t an easy task and I think mostly cause of people around. There are a whole lot of “advisors” along with members of his cabinet and all that sort of thing. If a president really wants to change his/her country for the better, the people around who should follow through and carry out the presidents reforms and policies end up not doing so.

People like those have their own personal interests and would work primarily in those interests, damn the country. And that’s why a lot of presidents who actually want to make a difference don’t.
There are people I think, who would actively sabotage any good reforms that would benefit the general populace if it conflicts with their interests.
So yeah, a presidents job is no easy task. 

My country is deep in debt and corruption is everywhere there are so many crimes and illegal drugs are proliferating so if I become the President of my country I will address the corruption that's long been haunting my country I will set up a justice system and council or task force to address the issue of corruption, my country is losing millions of dollars equivalent with corrupt projects and officials.

Next thing is I will strengthen the fight against illegal drugs by busting those big fish, the drug problems are not properly addressed because the authorities are zeroing in on small fish, because these officials are being corrupted by big fish so they are always at large and continue their operation.

Third I will concentrate on infrastructure because this is the way to a robust economy, so the farmers can easily transport their goods in the marketplace and do not hire third parties to do this which increases the price of goods.

By "bought this topic" I guess you meant – brought. I saw it run through your comment twice.

To the issue at stake, if I became the president of my country; I would handle the economy differently from what the political leadership in my country is doing. Imagine a government announcing to the country on the day of its inauguration that fuel subsidy was gone without putting any measure in place to cushion the ripple effects that thoughtless announcement would cause. Fuel price did more than 50% that same day the announcement was made and that has remained so till date with slight price variation. For me, first thing first would be to ensure there's good transportation network and then also upgrade workers' salaries.

The second thing would be to eliminate higher denominations of the country's currency. Retain the lower ones as that will ensure physical cash transit will be reduced to the bearest. This invariably will also discourage bribery. Those who are fond of taking cash to bribe others so they can't be traced will become scared of trying such as bank transfers can be easily traced unlike physical cash taken to someone. This will also discourage kidnapp cases. Kidnappers demand physical cash so they can't be traced. If the ransom is in millions, taking lower denominations to them will make the exercise bulky and can easily draw more attention. They won't want that.

It is definitely not easy to run a country, 'coz if it is, there should be no president of aany country to recieve bad reviews from their people. First of all, you'll be handling different people which has different personalities and chaaracteristics. Just one of them be corrupted, it'll spread with the others affecting your name. Problems also stack from administration to another which makes it even more difficult. With regards to economic state of a country, it won't solely depend on the country itself bit also with partnerships with bigger countries, which is what makes it crucial. Economic issues are simply long existing problems and is not something to be easily aided by a single election.

Four primary reasons why a country’s economy is in the shitbox and people are suffering. Agriculture, Roadways, and Education.

A country in order to be able to sustain itself must focus on agriculture to provide for the rest of the country. Better equipment, land regorms, higher salaries for farmers and protection against exploitation and all that must be imposed in order to make this sector better.

For Roadways, reducing traffic is the best way to solve this as Traffic is the main driver for delays and not to mention it consumes so much gas and oil. So better transportation system, promoting a commute-centric transpo system instead of private vehicles, and dedicated road areas for essential deliveries like food and all of this must be implemented to make this sector better.

Lastly, education. Higher quality of education yields students and lifelong learners that will jot settle for minimum wages. Plus they yield better results in corporate and are able to cover more fields of study when they grow up instead of saturating on a single sector.

So anything that could put  education in a better situation could solve this issue.

Last is corruption. It’s no surprise that when you steal from the country your citizens are affected. So, imposing stricter punishments and better watch at the treasury will prove to be effective against corruption.

This is quite a good question but really difficult. Firstly there is no easy government, and in as much as it's easier to say a government did not do well it's quite harder to actually develop a good plan from the scratch and build up a good government.

Well if I was giving the honors to be president for one day, well those that may find it better are those who are from a well developed countries well unfortunately I am not so first thing I would do is to end the corruption avenues that were created by previous president from my countries. The amount of money spent on my countries legislative arm is heavy I would reduce that to and other unnecessary spending. I would work well to see my country become a producing country rather than a consuming country by harnessing the natural resources in the country rather than selling it off to foreigners to handle. My country is well rich in oil and seeing what the Arabians has done with their I would engage in relationships with them that can be productive for my country.

Bruh i don't know anything about running a country or what, but hearing from your current president responding to the fact increasing rate of the inflation "it's not true, it only risen a little" like bro, every people in this country would be affected from it. It just shows the difference between a rich person running a country to a regular citizen who's concern about the issue of the economy. Maybe if I were a president, I would literally study everything that have a connection to the improvement of the country including the economic status of my country. We can't even hear a news about the president and no action at all lmao.

To be honest I've never understood the politics in that area, Hungary, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, it's all a puzzle for me, but there are scars or misconceptions and some might not forget minor things from the past giving them more weight than recent events. So without going into politics too much, it can be worse, it's one thing to take sides in a conflict, a different thing to be completely retarded

Oh and btw, I didn't know Milanovic's name either!   Actually I don't know the name of the prime minister either! Probably the only politician I know in that area is Orban, and not because of his achievements either!


With what money?  
As I was saying in the previous post:

In order to change a country in such a short amount of time you will need the political power of a tyrant and a massive amount of money, but setting that aside just for the sake of your example, I think the very first thing I would do is to change the focus businesses have on short term profits over anything else, as it is this shortsightedness which is causing a great deal of the problems we are facing, as an example the 2007 mortgage crisis was an example of the banks looking for short term profits over anything else, however this caused a huge imbalance and forced the governments to save them as otherwise they will go bankrupt, a decision which is still affecting us as well, also I will change this idea that a business is too big too fail, in my opinion if the CEO and board of directors have taken bad decisions big enough to crash their business then governments should let that business to disappear.

I think being the president of a nation would be a difficult task because of people around you, not the job itself. Like if you make me president today with the way I am today, I would make the nation a better place, and so would a lot of people here, that's the point, if we were, then we would be great. But, the presidents usually don't and we dislike them.

Because in order to be president, you need powerful people and politicians to pick you, you can2t just go on youtube and claim to be the candidate, well some crazy people do, and they end up getting a few thousand votes at most. So, if you want to be president from a good party that has a chance, you need to grease the hands of so many people that by the end you will be terrible president if you are elected.

The truth is that in some countries the presidents are very powerful, but in the EU they are mostly reduced to protocol things, and as you say most people in the EU could hardly list three presidents even their neighboring countries. Unless you have a president who openly supports Russia and is the star of their media, then those who follow politics certainly know him.

Being in that position necessitates many sacrifices as well as tenacity in order to do tasks efficiently. This will not be an easy ride, but I will ensure that the country's economy functions by implementing policies that will improve the well-being of the people who elected me. Using the country's available resources and ceasing to rely on imports will be considered; as a result, dependency on foreign goods will be decreased.

A key aspect of politics that causes it not to work even when the president puts in a lot of effort is a lack of transparency and accountability by those given jobs to do. If I become president, those people will be one of my objectives to deal with if they fail to fulfill their tasks successfully. It’s not going to be an easy way to pass through but since I’m there, I’ll make sure I achieve something for my people.

Being a president i will have my own sitting cabinet and form a new administration with the people to look into the areas where the economy is in need of serious intervention and fix for the people, there must be a way to create a balance in raising the standard of an economy but what needed first is to increase the GDP growth of the country and reduce it economic dependency on other countries economy advancement and begin to work on how we can raise the standard of our locally made produce into an international standards others will demand from us, by so doing we are reducing unemployment, poverty and many factors bringing down an economy to jeopardy.

I live in a country that is going through very difficult economic conditions due to the political instability that causes the lack of a clear economic strategy, in addition to the global situation that has exacerbated its tragedy, from the Corona crisis to the Ukrainian war.
This means that whatever the economic model that I imagine is suitable for the development of my country, and whatever the methods of implementing it, it will take me years to reform the current situation by restructuring it, because I will not be the ruler of a country that was established two days ago, but rather a country on the verge of collapse. This is literally what successive governments wanting to reform face, as well as the inability to provide the necessary time.

Well, definitely, I will think of the possible ways to fight inflation and other things to make the economy better, but it's all in imagination, because In real life, you cannot really make the economy better like you've imagined it, by chance, you happen to get through the presidential site. By that time, you will realize that it's not as easy as we imagined it to manage a country and the economy. Just as country's economic system is very bad, and the previous government of that country might have incurred some heavy loans that you will be required to repay as the current president.
