The Quest for Economic Balance

As Prime Minister Tobgay suggests a shift towards 'Gross National Happiness 2.0' amid an economic crisis it seems Bhutan's search for balance may lead to a new equilibrium. 'Grow our economy we must,' reminiscent of my own teachings.

Cautionary Tales of Conservation

Tobgay acknowledges that Bhutan's cautious approach to growth may have been too one sided. A balance must be struck like walking the fine line between the light and dark sides of the Force.

Tourism Troubles

Bhutan's tourism industry struggles to recover despite its 'high value low volume' strategy. The Sustainable Development Fee may rise but caution remains much like holding back the power of the Death Star.

Youthful Aspirations

With thousands of Bhutanese youth seeking opportunities abroad Tobgay emphasizes the importance of creating jobs at home. Building a strong economy is key to bringing back those who have ventured to other galaxies.
