In my country, what causes economy problems is the rise of petroleum, fuel and other gaseous substance, once the price of these chemicals go up, then the economy is in doom where it's hard to solve the problems, everything rises in price even a product that doesn't use fuel to function.
The amazing part is that, the government officials never care much about this but always come up with fail projects to lift this matter.
This is also one of the problem that we are facing in my country. Rises in those chemicals substances also contribute to the inflation that we are facing now in the the country. The government knows what needs to be done for everything to go back to normal, but they are doing nothing about it. They are actually not helping the situation at all. We have mineral enough resources that are more than enough to make the country grow and develop, but they are misusing them. I'm aware that some people will said that is not the government fault, if not the government then who's fault is it.
