印度财政部长：可以通过多种形式把钱发到人们手中

NEW DELHI: Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Sunday the government consciously preferred a route aimed at empowering people rather than doling out cash because it felt that it was better suited to deal with the emergency that the Covid-19 pandemic had triggered.

新德里：印度财政部长西塔拉曼周日表示，印度政府更倾向于采取一种旨在赋-权于人民的方式来应对新冠肺炎大流行引发的危机，而不是直接发放现金，政府认为前者更适合应对当前的危机。

Talking to TOI after shortly after announcing the last tranche of the Atmanirbhar Bharat package on Sunday, she said that while the government did initially rush money to the most vulnerable section, it felt that the long-term economic consequences of the crisis would be better mitigated by enhancing liquidity as that would help with the reopening of the economy, ensure viability of economic enterprises, and ensure protection of jobs while restoring demand.

在周日宣布最后一笔经济刺激计划后不久，西塔拉曼表示，虽然印度政府最初确实向最薄弱的部门发放现金，但政府认为通过提高流动性，可以更好地减轻危机带来的长期经济后果，有助于重启经济，确保企业的生存能力，并确保在恢复需求的同时保住就业。

The FM also said that the design of the "package" is in line with approach, strengthened under PM Modi, to privilege empowerment over one-time cash handouts, even as she emphasised that the government has energetically provided instant cash assistance through direct benefit transfers to the most vulnerable and needy.

财政部长还表示，“经济刺激一揽子计划”的制定与莫迪总理强调的方法相一致，即赋予权力，而不是一次性发放现金，尽管她强调政府已经直接向最脆弱和最需要的人发放福利，积极提供现金援助。

"The fact is money into people’s hands can be in several forms and what we have done is to give it through that route of creation of demand for businesses to get triggered. So we are looking at a way where there so many different ripple effects, multiplier effects which will trigger the economy," Sitharaman said while elaborating on the government’s plans to provide working capital loans and funds for NBFCs.

西塔拉曼在详细阐述政府为非银行金融机构提供流动资金贷款和资金的计划时表示：“事实是，可以通过多种形式把钱交到人民手中，我们所做的就是通过创造需求来激发企业。因此，我们正在寻找一种可以产生不同的涟漪效应、乘数效应的方式来刺激经济。”

The FM also said that the government's approach was influenced by the experience of the 2008 financial crisis where an economic stimulus based on careless lending led to a bad loans crisis, double-digit inflation with no gains for the economy.

西塔拉曼还表示，政府的做法受到2008年金融危机的影响，当时基于粗心放贷的经济刺激方式导致了不良贷款，两位数的通胀对经济没有任何好处。

"Disbursal hasn’t happened but sanction has happened but the money is still with the bank. Now, if the lockdown is lifted and businesses come all right now you release the money, automatically that money will reach the ground," the FM said while responding to a question on banks reluctance to lend and park the funds approved by the government with the RBI.

在回答有关银行不愿贷款并将政府批准的资金存放于印度央行的问题时，西塔拉曼表示：“贷款还没有发放，但制裁已经进行，钱还在银行里。如果封锁解除，生意好起来了，银行就会发放贷款，钱自然就会释放出来。”

income tax refunds and loans should not be considered an economic package as there is no cost to government. refunds are right of tax payers and loans (coming from banks without any liquidity infusion) will need to be paid back with interest. so in essence this economic package is worth just 3 lakh crore and not 21 lakh crore.

所得税退税和贷款不应算作经济刺激计划的一部分，因为这对政府来说是没有成本的。所以本质上，这个经济刺激计划只有3万亿卢比，没到21万亿。

Nirmalajee is very right. Don't pay cash, just announce in media that people have become rich & India has "recovered". It is up to people to believe it.

西塔拉曼说得很对，不要给现金，只要在媒体上宣布人们已经富起来了，印度经济已经“恢复”正常了，这样就行了，就看人们是否相信哦。
