The trade advisor said, as a result of inflation, the purchasing power has not increased as much as our money has increased. Rather, purchasing power has decreased. If we look at a worker there is a compromise in his quality of life.
I am not expecting any magic from you, the advisor said to the officials. We will work together. You will find me as an associate. I will try my best to make your work more effective.
