He reduced the current account deficit by 70% without even going to the IMF, but he had no solution.
He stood like a wall in front of IMF when they tried to bulldoze him with pre-conditions. Yeah, he had no solution.
He was brutally honest in whatever was going on on the financial front. Never gave fudged figures, or made false promises. Yeah, he had no solution.
