The article on the state of economy authored by RBI Deputy Governor M D Patra and other officials said that the resurgence of COVID-19 has dented but not debilitated economic activities in the first half of Q1 of the current fiscal even though caseload of infections is much higher than before. It said the ferocity of the second COVID-19 wave has overwhelmed India and the world and added that war efforts have been mounted to stop the surge in its tracks.
The article has stated that the impact of the second wave on the real economy seems to be limited so far in comparison with the first wave. Evidently, it said the localised nature of lockdowns, better adaptation of people to work from home protocols, online delivery models, e-commerce and digital payments are at work.
As per the article, real economy indicators moderated in April and May, as many states imposed restrictions to arrest the renewed surge in infections. The second wave has intensified in metros/ cities, and relative to the first wave, it has spread rapidly across states, regions, and into rural pockets.
