Same in India for most cases when taking out old notes in circulation etc This particular demonitisation was done as a shock move to ostensibly catch corruption, black money etc. It was lauded and welcome when it was announced, including by yours truly. It was quickly seen as a poor execution by most except the ardent supporters (which doesn't include me) I am sure most in the govt would secretly agree it was a bad move.
