Lira to outperform forint: A nice demonstration of the relativity theorem.
Government's solution to unemployment: Temporary public sector employment. In the spirit of constructive feedback, I would like to offer a concrete proposal. Divide all the unemployed into half. The first half could dig holes, with the rest filling them up. Joking aside, I have to look at Referans for the details, but as it stands, I don't see why the government would go for so much inefficiency, whereas they could simply provide firms incentives for not firing. Go figure...
