Description

The Indian economy, one of the largest in the world, is set to contract significantly this year. Our panel of experts discussed policy measures adopted by the Indian government to tackle the economic downturn as a result of the devastating effects of COVID 19 pandemic in the country. The panel also discussed short and medium run scenarios for the Indian economy highlighting the interdependence between democratic institutions, economic growth and welfare. Finally, the panelists also discussed India’s regional and international economic relations in the context of the present crisis in globalization and the country’s border impasse with China.
