Explanation:

The Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council (PMEAC) provides economic advice, particularly the Prime Minister.

The Committee is an autonomous, non-constitutional, non-permanent body which is responsible for determining the main economic problems which It is faced with from a neutral perspective. This gives recommendations to the Premier on economic matters such as growth, micro-finance and factory production.
