EDITORIAL

Time to focus on the economy After a series of amendments, the government's proposed tax legislation is expected to be voted into law. Nevertheless, the repeated leaks and compromises have had a negative effect on the domestic market. Political instability always takes a hefty toll on the economy. That should be a lesson for the conservative government of Costas Karamanlis, which should now brace to deal with the repercussions of the international financial crisis. Voters are demanding that the New Democracy administration come up with a clear and solid plan of action. Government officials must explain the plan to the public before putting it into force.
