Ass-hu, some good points about ICG reports IN GENERAL. Congrats. Now, let us contrast them with IMF-World Bank Reports. (a) They are ill-written, without exception. (b) They make suggestions that no one in Nepal can ignores. Backed by threats, they make Nepalese decision-makers cower in fear. Invariably, IMF-World Reports are forced by goons with pens more powerful than pistols. People who wanted to be journalists but couldn't make the grade and those who wanted to be economists but failed the test write these reports. (c) Among rightwingers, it's common to start every statement with "The Bank says..." and end with "Bank's views must be respected". (d) The reports are no good as archived recent political history as they are full of lies, damn lies, and statistics. (e) Talking about incentives, IMF-World Bank needs Nepal to be in a perpetual crisis. Why? Because they need constant crisis to be remain engaged as a rescuer. It's an employer of choice of those with self-awarded degrees in manufacturing sweet lies based upon doctored statistics. (f) That said, all thinking Nepalese should welcome IMF-World Bank reports as another additional data-points to understand what's going on in donor-circle of Kathmandu. Om Shanti.
