Jan-March expansion at 40 quarter low of 3.1%, 2019-20 GDP growth at 11-year low of 4.2%

印度1- 3月经济增速为3.1%，为40个季度来新低，2019- 2020财年（2019年4月至2020年3月）GDP增速为4.2%，为11年来新低

NEW DELHI: The country’s economic growth in the January-March quarter of 2019-20 expanded at its slowest pace in 40 quarters at 3.1%, dragged down by the manufacturing and construction sectors and some impact of the national lockdown in late March. Only the farm sector and government spending stayed firm.

新德里：受制造业和建筑行业的拖累，以及3月底开始在全国范围实施的封城措施的影响，印度1-3月的经济增速为3.1%，为40个季度以来新低，只有农业部门和政府支出保持坚挺。

Data released by the National Statistical Office (NSO) on Friday also showed overall GDP growth in 2019-20 slowing to an 11-year low of 4.2%, lower than the earlier estimate of 5%. Several major economies which had imposed lockdowns earlier have witnessed a contraction in their January-March quarter growth while a handful of countries led by India have managed to post expansion during the period. The NSO said that both the quarterly as well as annual GDP growth numbers are likely to undergo revision as data flow from “economic entities had been impacted.”

印度国家统计局周五发布的数据还显示，在2019- 2020财年，GDP增速放缓至4.2%，为11年来低点，低于此前5%的预期。早些时候实行封城的几个主要经济体1 - 3月份的经济增长出现了萎缩，而以印度为首的少数几个国家在这段时间实现了增长。国家统计局表示，由于“经济实体”的数据受到影响，季度和年度GDP增长数据可能进行修正。

Economists say the lockdown, which has crippled economic activity, will have an impact on growth in the coming quarters with several research houses, investment banks and brokerages estimating a sharp contraction.

经济学家表示，封城措施削弱了经济活动，将对未来几个季度的经济增长产生影响，几家研究机构、投资银行和经纪公司预计经济将出现大幅萎缩。

Several key sectors of the economy such as the services sector, which accounts for nearly 60% of the economy, have suffered due to the lockdown and led to large job losses. The government has unveiled a relief package to nurse growth but experts say more needs to be done to help revive growth.

占印度经济近60%的服务业等几个关键行业都受到封城措施的影响，导致大量就业岗位流失。政府公布了一项刺激经济增长的救助计划，但专家表示，还需要采取更多措施来帮助恢复经济增长。

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has also cut rates sharply since the lockdown and has unveiled massive liquidity injection to help the economy gather momentum but it has estimated growth to contract in 2020-21 due to the impact of the lockdown in the country as well as across the globe. The IMF expects India and to be the only economies to register growth while other economies around the globe are expected to contract sharply, a view not shared by several other economists who expect the Indian economy to contract.

印度储备银行(RBI)也大幅下调了利率，并公布了大规模的资金注入计划，以推动经济增长，但由于印度及全球范围内的封锁，预计印度经济增长将在2020-21年期间收缩。国际货币基金组织(IMF)预计，印度和将是唯一实现增长的经济体，而全球其它经济体预计将大幅萎缩。预计印度经济将出现萎缩的其他几位经济学家并不认同这一观点。

The manufacturing, construction and services sectors contracted in the March quarter which economists attributed to the impact of the lockdown. The trade, hotel and transport and manufacturing sector saw growth drop to the lowest level since 2011-12 in Q4 FY20, according to Care Ratings.

在1-3月，制造业、建筑业和服务业出现萎缩，经济学家将此归因于封城影响。

The farm sector posted a robust near 6% growth in the March quarter while overall expansion was at 4% for 2019-20.The sector is expected to provide some support to overall growth in the quarters ahead as farm production is expected to remain strong.

农业部门在该季度实现了近6%的强劲增长，而在2019- 2020财年期间的总体增速为4%。由于农业生产预计将保持强劲，预计农业部门将为未来几个季度的整体增长提供一些支持。

Economists said they estimate a further deterioration in the health of the economy in the months ahead as the impact of the lockdown becomes more pronounced and some said the prospects for Asia’s third largest economy appear to be grim. The chief economic adviser in the finance ministry Krishnamurthy Subramanian expects a V-shaped recovery once the pandemic gets over, relying his projection one the recovery that the economy staged post the Spanish flu in 1918.

经济学家表示，预计未来几个月经济状况将进一步恶化，因为封城的影响将变得更加明显。一些经济学家表示，亚洲第三大经济体印度的前景似乎很黯淡。印度财政部首席经济顾问Krishnamurthy Subramanian预计，基于其对1918年西班牙流感后经济复苏的预测，一旦此次疫情过去，印度经济将呈现V型复苏。

“The further extension of the lockdown till the end of May 2020 amid graded relaxations, and the expectation of substantial delays in getting the full supply chain operational, especially given the likelihood of enduring labour mismatches following the return of migrant workers to their home states, would further dampen economic activity,” said Aditi Nayar, principal economist at ratings agency ICRA.

评级机构ICRA的首席经济学家阿迪提·纳亚尔称：“随着封城进一步延长至2020年5月底，并逐步放松，预计整个供应链的运作将会大幅延迟，尤其是考虑到民工返乡后可能会出现劳动力短缺的情况，这将进一步抑制经济活动。”
