The report foresaw a scenario of full employment, with unemployment dropping to 4.5 percent, and a significant reduction in bureaucratic hurdles, aiming for a more efficient public sector.

The piece highlights the gap between the government's aspirations and the actual progress made, suggesting that while some advancements have occurred, the ambitious goals set nearly a decade ago remain largely unmet.
