Covid-19: Govt plans stimulus package to support economic growth

印度政府计划推出刺激方案，支持经济增长

NEW DELHI: India is preparing a stimulus package for sectors worst affected by a deadly coronavirus wave, aiming to support an economy struggling with a slew of localized lockdowns, people familiar with the matter said.

新德里：据知情人士透露，印度正在为受新冠疫情影响最严重的行业制定一项刺激方案，旨在支持因一系列地方性封锁而苦苦挣扎的经济。

The finance ministry is working on proposals to bolster the tourism, aviation and hospitality industries, along with small and medium-sized companies, the people said, asking not to be identified as the deliberations are private. The discussions are at an early stage and no timeline for an announcement has been decided, they said. A finance ministry spokesman declined to comment.

上述知情人士表示，财政部正在研究提振旅游、航空和酒店业以及中小企业的提案。他们说，讨论还处于早期阶段，尚未确定宣布的时间表。财政部发言人拒绝置评。

The latest wave of Covid-19 infections has made India the global hotspot for the pandemic and has decimated travel since the second wave picked up in March even though Prime Minister Narendra Modi has refused to implement a strict nationwide lockdown like last year’s. With nearly 200,000 daily cases daily many local governments -- including Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, India’s most industrialized states -- have imposed curbs against the spread of the virus.

尽管印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪拒绝像去年那样在全国范围内实施严格封锁，但最新一波疫情已使印度成为全球疫情热点，自3月第二波疫情爆发以来，印度的旅游人数大幅减少。由于每天新增近20万例病例，许多地方政府——包括马哈拉施特拉邦和印度工业化程度最高的泰米尔纳德邦——已经实施了遏制病毒传播的措施。

That’s prompted many economists to cut their forecasts for the financial year that began April 1, as rising unemployment and dwindling savings among consumers dim the chances for double-digit growth. While the International Monetary Fund expects India’s economy to expand 12.5% this year to March -- and will be revisiting the forecast in July -- the country’s central bank projects 10.5% growth.

这促使许多经济学家下调了对从4月1日开始的本财年的预测，因为不断上升的失业率和消费者储蓄减少降低了实现两位数增长的可能性。国际货币基金组织(International Monetary Fund)预计印度经济今年至明年3月份将增长12.5%，并将在7月份重新调整这一预测，但印度央行预计将增长10.5%。

Flagging growth prospects put the onus on policy makers to support activity, especially once the virus caseload eases. Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who said last month she’s monitoring the economy in a “very detailed fashion,” has held discussions with economists in recent days about a stimulus package, the people said.

疲软的增长前景使决策者有责任支持活动，特别是在病例下降后。上述知情人士称，印度财政部长西塔拉曼上月表示，她正在“非常详细地”监控经济。最近几天，她已与经济学家就刺激方案进行了讨论。

In April, the finance ministry eased rules for capital expenditure by government departments to try to boost spending in the economy.

今年4月，财政部放宽了政府部门的资本支出规定，试图增加经济中的支出。
