In order to boost economy, Former Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Raghuram Rajan has said the government should focus on spending on profitable firms, which have been incurring costs but have not earned revenues in the last four months. He further said in the pandemic, unlike normal recession, there is enormous amount of destruction, which has happened to households and also to firms, and that’s where relief and repair has to come in along with stimulus.
He mentioned ‘the reality right now is not to say open the flood gates and spend on anything. Stating that repair is important to recover from the impact of pandemic, he said if a firm is unable to function, that’s a loss to GDP going forward. He added if it can benefit from additional funding, writing down of debt it may contribute significantly more than the normal Keynesian stimulus.
To contain the spread of COVID-19 pandemic, the government had imposed the lockdown from March 25. The gradual opening up of economy started since June. In May, the government had already announced a nearly Rs 21 lakh crore package to support the economy.
