He said the stimulus measures did not increase consumption spending of lower income people as the government was not willing to put money in the hands of the low income population.
He said the country's economic growth was slowing down even before the Covid-19 pandemic hit. However, he said that the country will see a revival in growth in the July-September quarter of the current fiscal.

He opined India had 20 years of high inflation and high growth. The country benefited a lot from stable high inflation in the last 20 years.
