<div dir="ltr">Best YR2014 Wishes to one and all...<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the Report..<br><div><br></div><div>Even before one reads this report, the word 'Greasing' might be confused with 'Bribing' - which is very difficult to prove at higher policy levels. </div>
<div><br></div><div>It is like the big difference between 'advocacy' and 'lobbying'.</div><div><br></div><div>All in all I hope the BCG report is talking about 'inclusiveness' of Economic Policy Managers and their Leaders' in this.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Ok.. ..lets us read it and see how things could be made better since any Policy is a living document - it may grow and also die ...?</div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards</div><div><br></div></div><div>
