Raising concerns over economic recovery, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its latest report has said that the contraction in economic activity is likely to continue in the second quarter of the current fiscal as upticks witnessed in May and June appears to have lost strength following re-imposition of lockdowns to contain the coronavirus pandemic.
RBI expressed need for 'deep-seats and wide-ranging' reforms to regain losses and return to the path of sustainable economic growth. It further said that an assessment of aggregate demand during the year so far suggests that the shock to consumption is severe, and it will take quite some time to mend and regain the pre-COVID-19 momentum.
Meanwhile, the National Statistical Office is scheduled to release its estimates of GDP for the first quarter of this fiscal on August 31. RBI did not give out economic growth projections in the annual report as is usual.
