The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Director S Gurumurthy has expressed hope that the Centre may announce the final stimulus package in the ‘post-COVID era’ in September or October. He said the package of more than Rs 20 lakh crore announced by the central government can be described as an interim measure.
Gurumurthy added that India has come up with the package using money generated by the economy. He also said unlike the European nations and the US, which have been printing money by monetising deficit, there is little scope for India to do that.
He said the central bank has not yet taken any view on monetising deficit. India is now facing diverse problems. The government has deposited Rs 16,000 crore in the Jan Dhan bank accounts from April 1 to May 15.
The RBI Director said it is surprising to note that there has been little withdrawal from those deposits. This only shows that the level of distress is not to that extent. He added that in the post-COVID era, the world will shift from ‘multilateralism to bilateralism’, and revival of the Indian economy will be faster.
