00:52May 2023, the removal of the decades-long fuel subsidy.
00:57The reforms resulted in soaring inflation for millions of people.
01:01Our objective is not to manage poverty more efficiently.
01:07We will defeat it.
01:09It will take time.
01:10It will require discipline.
01:12It will require sustained growth years after year, and the creation of millions of productive
01:20opportunities across our country.
