    1. The given sentence was correct Friend.
      well, here somebody saying that "THEY (possibly the ministers) dint consider the effects of changing guidelines on Economy"

      the word WITH is not correct here. because the change will directly effect the Economy. tht means without the change, the economy wont be effected. So you shouldnt use WITH here...
