'Atmanirbhar Bharat' should not result in protectionism: Rajan

前印度央行行长：“印度自力更生”倡议不应导致保护主义

NEW DELHI: Former Reserve Bank governor Raghuram Rajan on Wednesday said the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' campaign of the government should not result in protectionism, adding that such policies had not worked in the past.

新德里：周三，前印度储备银行行长拉詹表示，政府的“自力更生”运动不应该导致保护主义，并补充说，这类政策过去并不奏效。

Observing that it is not yet clear to him what the government means by 'Atmanirbhar Bharat', Rajan said if it is about creating an environment for production, then it is a re-branding of the Make in India initiative.

拉詹称，他尚不清楚政府所说的“自力更生”所谓何意。他说，如果这是为了创造一种生产环境，那么这就是对“印度制造”倡议的重塑。

"If it is about protectionism, unfortunately India has raised tariffs recently, (then) it does not make any sense to my mind to go that way because we tried that before.

他说:“如果是出于保护主义考虑，不幸的是印度最近提高了关税，我认为这样做没有任何意义，因为我们以前尝试过。”

"We had a licence permit raj earlier ... that protectionism was problematic, it enriched a few corporations but basically was a source of poverty for many of us," he said.

他说：“我们之前出台过许可证制度……这种保护主义是有问题的，只让少数公司富了起来，但这基本上是许多人贫困的根源。”

Rajan was addressing a virtual event organised by economic think tank ICRIER.

拉詹在经济智库ICRIER组织的一场虚拟活动中发表了此番讲话。

"When we talk about Atmanirbhar Bharat, I am not quite sure which side is being emphasised. If it is, let's create an environment for production, I think that makes a lot of sense and it basically reiterates Make in India and rebrands ... Make in India," he said.

他说：“当我们谈论自力更生倡议时，我不太确定强调的是什么。如果要自力更生，我们就创造一个生产环境，我认为这很有意义，基本上重申并重塑了“印度制造”倡议。”

Rajan, currently a professor at the University of Chicago, further said India needs world-class manufacturing and that means the country's manufacturers have access to cheap imports, which form the basis for strong exports.

拉詹目前在芝加哥大学担任教授，他还说，印度需要世界级的制造业，这意味着印度制造商可以获得廉价的进口产品，这是强劲出口的基础。

"So, by all means, we need to create infrastructural support, logistic support etc for being part of the global supply chain. But let us not create a tariff war because we know that does not work, many countries have tried it," the eminent economist noted.

这位杰出的经济学家指出：“因此，为了成为全球供应链的一部分，我们必须创造基础设施支持、后勤支持等。但不要制造关税战争，因为我们知道这并不奏效，许多国家已经尝试过了。”

这条新闻与国大党和拉胡尔有什么关系，不要乱喷。

It is surprising that he is talking about transparency. When the government had asked him to provide the list of borrowers who had borrowed large amounts from commercial banks, he did not cooperate. He is talking on 's lines. is complaining about India's protectionism because the are not getting an opportunity for dum. As the business activity has come to a standstill due to the pandemic, it is a challenge .

令人惊讶的是，他在谈论透明度。当政府要求他提供从商业银行大量借款的借款人名单时，他却没有配合。他是站在的立场讲话。抱怨印度的贸易保护主义，没让他们获得倾销的机会。由于疫情的影响，商业活动已陷于停顿，这是一个挑战。

Mr Raghuram Rajan, should preferably keep mouth shut and not give sermons on far reaching industrial policy matter.

拉詹先生最好闭上嘴巴，不要在影响深远的产业政策问题上说三道四。

I am surprised that Rajan keeps talking about India while no one wants his opinion. USA is going thru pendamaic and economic crisis, being a green card holder, he should pay more attention to USA economy and talk to other economists. But you know no body in USA knows him much or talks to him anyway.

我很惊讶，拉詹一直在谈论印度，但没人想听他的意见。美国正在经历经济危机，作为一个绿卡持有者，他应该多关注美国经济，多和其他经济学家交流。但他在美国没有知名度，也没人跟他说话。

I Love India

bcoz no one listen to him.. he is now a online joker who talk like papu.. free advise which has no sense.

Make in India was about setting up manufacturing in India. Atamnirbhar Bharat is about producing everything in India and being dependent on imports. As simple as that. Hope your pea size brain understands now. Who made you an economist, i seriously wonder

“印度制造”倡议是指在印度建立生产基地。“印度自力更生”倡议是指在印度生产一切产品，不依赖进口。就这么简单。希望你那豌豆大小的脑袋现在明白了。你是怎么成为经济学家的，我真的很好奇

Some protectionism is necessary for a country like India. But it should not be protecting the interest of a specific Indian businessman. Rather it should be protecting interest of every business in India that helps all Indians.

适当的保护主义对印度这样的国家是必要的。但这不意味着保护某个印度商人的利益。相反，应该保护印度每一家企业的利益，以帮助所有印度人。

He is stupid economics professor and did nothing during his time RBI chief. All scams sown during his time or just before.

他是个愚蠢的经济学教授，在担任印度储备银行行长期间什么也没做。所有的骗局都是在他任职期间或之前酝酿的。

这个人既不是印度人也不是美国人——他像变色龙一样变换颜色。如果他继续这样说话，很快他就会进监狱，他毫无头绪，毫无信誉。

Rajan Bhai, it will definitely lead to protectionism.How can "make in India" succeed without protectionism? Of course there are exceptions like samosas and pakodas which are perishable and cannot be imported from Cina.

这肯定会导致贸易保护主义。没有保护主义，“印度制造”如何成功?当然，也有例外，比如萨莫萨三角饺和帕可拉（炸蔬菜丸），它们容易腐烂，不能从进口。
