Covid-19: Economists see deeper impact of second wave than government

经济学家认为第二波疫情造成的影响比印度官方认为的更严重

NEW DELHI: Within minutes of release of fourth quarter GDP numbers, chief economic adviser Krishnamurthy Subramanian made a detailed presentation on the economic situation, reminiscent of the pre-budget Economic Survey.

新德里：第四季度GDP数据发布几分钟后，首席经济顾问苏布兰马尼安就经济形势做了详细介绍，让人想起预算前的经济调查。

His message was simple: The impact of the second wave, which has caused significant devastation in terms of lives and livelihood, will not be large. He pointed to several indicators and the global experience to argue his case.

他要传达的信息很简单：第二波疫情的影响不会太大，但在生命和生计方面造成了重大破坏。他指出了几个指标和全球形势来支持其观点。

RBI too seems to be on the same page, which also expects a muted impact of the second wave, that may be confined to the April-June quarter with a possibility of a spill over to July.

印度储备银行似乎也持同样的观点，也预计第二波疫情造成的影响会较小，可能仅限于4 - 6月季度，有可能持续到7月。

But economists in the private sector as well as international agencies are less upbeat, with state-run SBI slashing its growth projection from 11% before the second wave hit India to 7.9% now — a three percentage point cut (or 28% lower than original projection). Similarly, Paris-based OECD has lowered its estimate from 12.6% to 9.9%.

但私营部门和国际机构的经济学家就不那么乐观了，印度国家银行(SBI)将其增长预期从第二波疫情冲击印度前的11%下调至现在的7.9%，降幅为3个百分点(比最初的预期低28%)。同样，总部位于巴黎的经合组织也将其预期从12.6%下调至9.9%。

“India is projected to be the fastest-growing G20 economy in 2021 — but also the one, which is the furthest away from its pre-crisis GDP trend. Pent-up demand for consumer durables and exports of manufacturing goods and services will act favourably, but other components will be far less supportive,” the think tank said in its overall assessment.

该智库在总体评估中表示：“到2021年，印度预计将成为G20集团中增长最快的经济体，但也是偏离危机前GDP增长趋势最远的经济体。耐用品、制造业产品和服务出口等被压抑的需求将发挥积极作用，但其他部分的支撑作用将小得多。”

We have been living under a curse ever since Feku came to power in 2014. Remarkably, the recent record-breaking "achievements" are reached by Feku in 7 years what Congress and NDA-1 couldn't in 67 years.

自莫迪2014年上台以来，我们一直生活在诅咒之中。值得注意的是，莫迪在7年的时间里取得了破纪录的“成就”，国大党在67年里都没能做到。

Krishnamurthy and SBI will parrot whatever the govt. dictates them too. International rating agencies will give a better picture and will present their figures without any Bias.

苏布兰马尼安和印度央行都是按政府的要求发表看法的，政府让他们说什么就说什么。国际评级机构没有偏见，给出的数据比较客观。

This worthless buffoon is still barking about how great the Indian economy will be. Truth is, none of his previous predictions have come true, not by a mile. This moron should’ve been fired ages ago, except the rest of this clownish government is probably worse. The last 7 years have been a tragedy for India. Indian economy is in critical state, hurtling towards the precipice...

这个毫无价值的小丑还在叫嚷印度经济会有多好。事实是，他之前的预言都没有实现，绝对没有。这个白痴早该被解雇了。过去7年对印度来说是一场悲剧。印度经济正处于危急状态，正奔向悬崖……
