Press Release quote: “Officials from national statistical offices who are involved in the compilation of price statistics in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region attended the workshop…The countries represented included: Afghanistan, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Pakistan, Sudan, and West Bank and Gaza.”
THE IMF HELD THE WORKSHOP TO ASSIST THE MIDDLE EASTERN REGION IN >> >THE PRICE INDEX <<<.
[So the countries in the meeting were picked because they need to have a level playing field with each other?]
IT DID NOT SAY IN INK — HOWEVER THEY ALL WERE THERE TO LEARN EITHER THE NEW POLICIES OR CALCULATION OR LEARN WHAT THEY ARE DOING WRONG OR LEARN HOW TO APPLY ETC —
SO VERY INTERESTING THAT 8 COUNTRIES WERE INCLUDED…
