Correction (10-6-2018)

The second sentence of the editorial titled 'Where openness and transparency are not synonymous' published in the June 09, 2018 issue of Financial Express, the word 'print' was wrongly typed as 'point'. The sentence should actually read: "Most bits of it -- whether its aggregate size or its resources mobilisation part by way of tinkering with rates, duties as well as in areas, expenditure outlay of both 'recurring' or 'developmental' in nature, the growth target of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) or, any broad fiscal policy-related issue -- have come out in the media, both print and electronic, well before its announcement." The mistake is regretted.
