when you are caught out in a mistake, make a clean breast of things, and as quickly as possible – don’t dally with your apology.
When she presents her second budget next Saturday, policy wonks expect Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to make a clean breast of all government borrowings. This includes off-budget financing, which is nothing but debt taken by public sector enterprises (PSEs) such as the Food Corporation of India (FCI) to bridge the subsidy (tiền trợ cấp) gap.
