Next few months will be ‘critical’ for India to revive economic activity: Rajiv Kumar

17 Aug 2020 Evaluate

In bid to revive economic activity, Niti Aayog Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar has said the next few months will be ‘critical’ for India and further fiscal measures may be warranted to ensure that recovery gathers pace. He also noted that while early signs of economic recovery are encouraging, sustainability of this recovery will be key. He said ‘the downside risks are still very real. Further fiscal measures may be warranted to ensure that the recovery gathers pace and does not peter out’.

On a year-on-year basis, most of the high frequency indicators are still in negative territory, Kumar said, adding that the fiscal deficit is expected to widen significantly. He said yet, data for June seems to suggest there are some green shoots visible. He noted that a global economic contraction is on the cards, the magnitude of which is undergoing constant revision. He said ‘the same is true for India. Economic activity was at a virtual standstill in April and May. And this was reflected in all high frequency indicators of the economy’.

Kumar also pointed out that India has taken several decisive steps apart from monetary and fiscal easing to boost the economy. He highlighted ‘An ambitious vision of an Aatmanirbhar Bharat has been laid out by the Prime Minister. Realising this vision will entail leveraging India's advantages relative to the world’. Further, Kumar said that countries are also taking on more and more debt as they announce stimulus packages to battle the economic crisis.

He said ‘With government debt levels at historic highs, and interest rates at historic lows, credit-driven growth is likely to be modest at best’. However, Kumar said the price of gold indicates a flight to safe asset choices to protect wealth. He said ‘As prices of gold continue to rise, we also need to watch out for inflation in asset prices relative to consumer prices, as the market is currently awash with liquidity. The world can ill afford a financial crisis on top of an economic one.’
