India should take measured approach with stimulus packages to deal with COVID-19: Panagariya

20 Apr 2020 Evaluate

Former NITI Aayog Vice Chairman -- Arvind Panagariya has said that India should resist calls for mega relief and stimulus packages that pitch for generous availability of credit to even unviable businesses and focus on a more measured approach by limiting interventions to provision for working capital and ensuring basic necessities for all to deal with the impact of the COVID-19.  Elaborating on the path ahead for India as it navigates health and economic concerns in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, he said there have been calls for mega relief and stimulus packages from various quarters.

The scale of some of these packages is so large as to give some sections living standards that exceed what they enjoyed prior to the advent of the coronavirus on Indian soil. Further, he said that India, like nearly all other countries in the world, faced difficult choices against the COVID-19 pandemic. So far, India has walked the tight rope as well as it could have, given its resources and management capabilities.

Besides, he noted that future taxpayers will have to pay for the expenditures the government incurs today by either borrowing or printing money. He added ‘printing vast volumes of money may not lead to high inflation immediately because many items of expenditure are simply not available. But he said ‘we shall not escape such fate once the situation normalises and trillions of rupees worth of extra money in the hands of public converts into effective demand.’
