Our handling of Corona was good Vs rest of world. The positive cases, death rates, recovery rates all good. The treatment to the real damage is still unanswered. Remember the world was in lock down and we were also under lock down and now the real test is...
~ US has recorded 33 mil job losses so far which is approx equal to 10 yr job creation what they have.
~ Their stimulus..
~ US is printing dollar and may increase it based on the necessity. #Fed has already shown their willingness to inject more liquidity if needed.
~ US will have to bail out more firms in events of failure..
~ If we have to recover fast we may need anything close to $275 b worth of package and its almost 10% of GDP. At current stage we are far from those numbers.
~India has approx $0.5 trillion...
~ Current fiscal deficit is around 3.5% of GDP and it can be bring around 6% to support the economy. Lets forget fiscal prudence for at least for sometime.
~ If the economy doesn't recover and stabilize, no amount of stimulus....
~Rating agencies and their warning. Current rating of BBB-stable. All these warnings dont hold any value....
~The current crude price is a blessing in disguise & not expected to go up to $40+ in a year or so.
A medicine in near term can cure the Corona but a damaged economy cant be cured for years if not treated properly.
