Having your fiscal house in order and having a more manageable macro-economic future is going to be very useful in creating growth.

Stability is necessary for our future economic success.

I think growing an economy is a good way to help with a deficit, but ultimately, it's about fiscal discipline and responsible spending - and smart decisions.

As always, it would be important to ensure that any fiscal policy changes did not compromise long-run fiscal sustainability.

We're focused on doing the things that make the economy perform well, and as you do that, reduce deficits, for one, very important; secondly, keep growth rates high, very important.

I know the government needs to ensure economic growth... we just hope it takes care of the environment, too.

Ultimately, stable growth will ensure that urban and rural incomes increase and people's lives improve.

The government would also be wise to press on with its further measures to promote growth, as it will want to outperform the low figures in this outlook. This will mean delivering measures to ease money and credit and to stimulate demand.

Stable growth ensures employment.

Fiscal discipline can turn the economy around.
