Our 2022 growth surge of 7.8% explained !

The healthy growth numbers are slightly deceptive given the low base effect .

To put things in perspective:

The level of GDP in real terms in 2022 is still 5 % lower than the level attained in 2019. With a growth of 5% in 2023, GDP would increase from Rs 486 billion to Rs510 billion, or 99.7% of 2019 GDP.

When humility makes us real !

Rapid Inflation : Supply constraints or Policy ?

Some days back, in one local newspaper , the issue was raised that "interest rate increase to control inflation is not very effective as inflation is being caused by supply chain disruptions as opposed to too much money chasing too few goods "

The show is on : Pension Populism and pleasing packages for our Senior Citizens

Reacting to the PM’s useless comments on pension, another ex-PM rushed in to clamour for his right to be included among the pension populists - he doubled the universal old-age pension in 1996. But he was not just satisfied with being acknowledged among the pension populist stalwarts, he tried to rope in, on his side, another ex-PM- PRB- in his criticism of the failed introduction of targeting for the BRP in 2004.

Qu'il aille faire une grève de faim contre La Guerre en Ukraine, la véritable cause de cette hausse en prix du pétrole.”

Wrong, totally wrong; these are the arguments of some of our fake economists - that our failure to have a grip on inflation is because of the global hike in petroleum prices, freight rates, certain essential commodities, etc. !
