Chief economic advisor (CEA) K V Subramanian has said the overall impact of the second wave of Covid-19 on the country's economy is not likely to be large but cautioned about uncertainty surrounding the pandemic going ahead. Further, he said that given the circumstances due to the pandemic, it is difficult to forecast if the country would achieve a double digit growth in the current fiscal.
He noted it would be difficult to predict exact growth number that the country may achieve as the path for pandemic still remains uncertain. He stated fiscal and monetary support will be important for the economy. Observing that there is a need to enhance the pace of vaccination, Subramanian said it would help in lowering the likelihood of another Covid-19 wave.
On inflation, he said it is expected to be range-bound and should not exceed the prescribed level. He further remarked that food grains production is projected to be at record levels this fiscal amid expectation of a normal monsoon.
