The government must involve the private sector in its policymaking decisions and not asking the private sector to act in advisory capacity. In the economic team, you must have key private sector leaders there because they know the problems. If they want to involve the private sector, the President has to reshuffle his cabinet and let people from the private sector handle technical positions in the government.
