新冠病例激增引发对印度经济复苏的担忧，打击增长预测

NEW DELHI/MUMBAI: The surge in Covid-19 cases in several states across the country has stoked worries about the economic recovery under way, investment banks are scaling down their growth projections, while others are voicing concerns over the second wave and its impact on recovery.

新德里/孟买：印度几个邦的新冠病例激增，引发了人们对印度经济复苏的担忧，投资银行正在下调增长预期，而其他机构则对第二波疫情及其对复苏的影响表示担忧。

The second wave swee the country has come at a time when the economy was emerging from the bruising impact of the lockdown imposed last year to prevent spread of the disease.

第二波疫情席卷印度之际，正值印度经济刚刚从去年为防止疫情传播而实施的封锁所造成的沉重冲击中复苏。

A Goldman Sachs Portfolio Strategy research report said its economists have revised down their overall calendar year real GDP growth forecast to 10.5% from 10.9% previously but it remains above the consensus forecast of 9.4%.

高盛投资组合策略研究公司的一份报告称，该公司的经济学家已将印度全年实际GDP增长预期从此前的10.9%下调至10.5%，但仍高于9.4%的普遍预期。

“Our economists believe that the containment restrictions are likely to be more targeted with hits to specific services (such as food and beverages, leisure and recreation, transport) with limited spillovers into other sectors such as construction and manufacturing,” the Goldman Sachs report said. It added that activity is likely to rebound sharply from the third quarter onwards as containment policies normalise.

高盛的报告称:“我们的经济学家认为，封锁措施可能会更有针对性，针对特定服务(如食品和饮料、休闲娱乐、交通运输)，对建筑业和制造业等其他行业的溢出效应有限。”该报告补充称，随着封锁正常化，经济活动可能从第三季度开始大幅反弹。

On Monday, Japanese investment bank and brokerage Nomura said it was lowering the growth forecast for India to 11.5% from 12.4% in 2021.

周一，日本投资银行和经纪公司野村证券表示，将把2021年印度的增长预期从12.4%下调至11.5%。

A day later, global ratings agency Moody’s Investors Service also cautioned about the impact of the sharp increase in infections on the recovery.

一天后，全球评级机构穆迪投资者服务公司也对病例急剧增加对印度经济复苏的影响发出警告。

Global financial major Barclays said current restrictions on mobility of people in economic hubs like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan may cause a weekly loss of $1.3 billion to GDP.

全球金融巨头巴克莱银行表示，目前对马哈拉施特拉邦、古吉拉特邦、泰米尔纳德邦和拉贾斯坦邦等经济中心人口流动的限制，可能导致每周GDP损失13亿美元。

If the current restrictions remain till May-end, the total cost could add up to about $10.5 billion. Barclays maintained its FY22 GDP growth forecast at 11% but warned “if the curbs are tightened further, then we see modest downside risks”.

如果目前的限制措施持续到5月底，造成的损失可能高达105亿美元左右。巴克莱维持对印度2022财年11%GDP增长的预测，但警告称，“如果进一步收紧限制，我们将看到适度的下行风险”

When a country as great as India has an illiterate and a bootlicker PM then only God can save India. We need leaders like Arvind Kejriwal to run the country, we need educated and smart politicians.

像印度这样伟大的国家由一个文盲、马屁精总理领导，只有神才能拯救印度。我们需要像阿尔文德·凯杰里瓦尔这样的领导人来管理国家，我们需要有文化的聪明政客。

First kick off these dam fake farmers...supported by Congress .. They are the ones who don't wear masks , follow social distance and making life miserable for honest tax paying middle class . They are not farmers but middlemen disguised as farmers who are so rich that can survive without working for 4 months... Can middle class citizens who pay taxes live without working for 4 months ?????

先把这些假农民赶出去，他们得到了国大党的支持，他们不戴口罩，不保持社会距离，导致诚实纳税的中产阶级生活悲惨。

他们不是农民，而是伪装成农民的中间人，他们非常富有，连续4个月不工作也能生存。

诚实纳税的中产阶级连续4个月不工作的话还能活下去吗?????
