If you were a foreign business person would you invest money in this country right now?

I wouldn't. The country does not seem stable right now & it looks like it's been overrun by loonies & I would not want to worry about employees at airports.

But of course, I wouldn't be investing at the beginning of any of the modern administrations. Maybe after 8, 9 months and the new government starts developing a method of governing that I could make assessments of risk on.
