Part 2/10:
Hogan opened by criticizing the government’s approach to economic reforms, describing it as primarily a "PR stunt." He pointed out that following the last election, the government convened an economic summit, yet failed to produce meaningful productivity gains. Over the past three years, productivity has sharply declined, yet most new jobs have been created in the public sector, which Hogan identified as a problematic trend requiring significant reform.
He warned that the current initiatives seem designed more for political optics than substantive economic improvement. Hogan cautioned against rushing into reforms without thorough consideration, suggesting the government is more interested in producing a positive image than actual results.
