I wonder if Albert Leone Ganado’s vision on IIP is as skewed as his vision on Malta’s success in joining the EU. Let us not forget his very bad old days when he was an active member of CNI

One of the basic lessons taught in economics is to compare nominal statistics with nominal statistics and real with real..Is the ‘professor’ trying to re-invent the wheel?

But once again does he really know anything about economics or is he trying to harp the tune of his friend Minister Scicluna?

In reply to Ares. When he actually turned up for his boring lectures you mean.

Instead of trying to rubbish the MP, Mr Leone Ganado should have provided the figures year by year in real terms so that we could all compare and contrast. Also Mr Ganado seems privy to information that not many have. Maybe he could tell us how much revenue the government is going to make by the end of the year since he knows this is substantial and apparently substantial enough to counter the whole year’s deficit. And even so, if I remember well the iip money was supposed to go into some special development fund not to fund a growing deficit…

He did not have commas or intonation even when he was delivering his boring lectures.

Be careful with statistics. Mrs Konrad Mizzi receives 13,000 euros a month and I receive 1,000 euros; So, statistics tell us that on average we receive 7,000 euros each.

Albert Leone Ganado should be providing the statistics about European Union membership which he so vehemently opposed.

In his comment, he refuted nothing of what Kristy Debono wrote.

Rather, he confirmed that the average salary increased at a much higher rate in Malta during 2008-13 when the international economy was in the doldrums than it is increasing now for the average employee, except, of course, for Mrs Konrad Mizzi and the like.
