Strong economic growth rebound expected on rapid vaccination, infra spend: Rajiv Kumar

30 Aug 2021 Evaluate

Expressing optimism, Niti Aayog Vice-Chairman Rajiv Kumar has said a strong economic growth rebound is expected on the back of rapid vaccinations, a recovering monsoon boosting agricultural output, thrust on infrastructure investments by the government, and growth in export, which have performed remarkably during April June registering a growth of 18 per cent over the same period in the pre-pandemic year of 2019-20. Kumar further said that as per consensus estimates, despite downward revision in the GDP growth projections, India is expected to be amongst the fastest-growing major economies in the world. He added ‘We also expect consumption to recover in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year’.

According to Kumar, after phased unlocking post the second Covid wave, the economic activity has gained strength. The government has also stepped into provide another dose of stimulus of Rs 6.3 lakh crore, focused on healthcare, tourism, agriculture, infrastructure, MSMEs and exports. He noted ‘As growth momentum gathers pace, supported by the measures undertaken by the government, the Indian economy will emerge stronger on a sustainable development path’. The Niti Aayog Vice Chairman pointed out that compared to steady expansion in the first five months of 2021, the global Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) recorded slower growth in June and July.

He said ‘In Asia, the manufacturing PMI witnessed deceleration in China. In India, manufacturing PMI rose to a three-month high of 55.3 in July, reflecting likely expansion of manufacturing activity in the coming months’ and added that India’s services PMI improved to 45.4 but remained in the contraction zone. Kumar observed that subsequent to a fairly robust recovery in the March quarter, the Indian economy was impacted by a much stronger Covid second wave, leading to imposition of strict curbs across states and decline in economic activity.

Referring to the global economy, Kumar said according to the World Bank, the global economy is on a path of robust recovery, with a projected growth of 5.6 per cent in 2021 the strongest post-recession pace in 80 years. The real GDP of advanced economies is projected to expand by 5.4 per cent whereas emerging markets and developing economies are expected to grow by 6.0 per cent. However, the pace of recovery is diverging across countries, reflecting variations in pandemic-induced disruptions and the extent of policy support.
