Rhetorical Style
The rhetorical style is formal, yet skeptical and critical, employing irony regarding the minister's enthusiastic mood. Logical juxtaposition is utilized (the minister's joy versus the state of the economy), and empirical proof (scientific evidence) is demanded, which renders the style more analytical than emotional.
