MSOpinion Using Davos to send a message to the Senate “But one cannot stop the pinklawans and the speculation-driven chismosos from asking whether the MWF is a convenient vehicle to ‘wash’ hidden wealth“
But one cannot stop the pinklawans and the speculation-driven chismosos from asking whether the MWF is a convenient vehicle to ‘wash’ hidden wealthThe president is now in Davos for the World Economic Forum, that annual gathering of politicians, businessmen, civil society leaders and academicians whose avowed purpose is to seek some form of consensus on approaching the many problems of the world economy.
And whether the world’s big investors will be attracted to invest in our country because of the Fund is quite a dicey proposition. Third, after many of the huge sovereign wealth funds lost hundreds of billions in the last two years, even more than a trillion collectively, our hastily-presented and yet un-legislated MWF will be “out-of-fashion” and therefore hardly noticed.
Would our president be flying to Davos to talk to Swiss bankers about other foreign deposits allegedly stashed away by the Ferdinand I presidency?But one cannot stop the pinklawans and the speculation-driven chismosos from asking whether the MWF is a convenient vehicle to “wash” hidden wealth. Their secret lies in using OPM, or other people’s money to their optimum advantage, although in our benighted isles, the cronies and the oligarchs use OPM to their maximum advantage, not necessarily its optimum utility.Take that foul-smelling “king” of fruits, the highly prized and pricey durian.
