Expressing hope that the country will recover in FY18, Vice-Chairman of the NITI Aayog, Arvind Panagariya has said that the second half of the current fiscal will see some decline in the growth due to demonetisation of high value currency notes, but the country would make up for growth rate decline in FY 2017-18.
Panagariya said “in the quarter in which the demonetisation decision was made and possibly even the quarter that follows which will be the last quarter of the fiscal 2016-17, we might see some decline in the growth rate.” He also said that demonetisation impact on the economy will be small and whatever is the loss, the government will recover it in the next fiscal.
Commenting about government's plan on providing big stimulus post-demonetisation, Panagariya said that it is too early to jump on any conclusion and one must wait to see the economic impact of demonetisation. He further said that some room for increased expenditure may nevertheless come from higher revenues and that is generally a good news.
