Decision to take India: IMF Chief
With the latest estimates, India has got the status of being one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Earlier this month, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said that India has taken very decisive steps to deal with the epidemic and its economic consequences. He said that a huge lockdown was done for the size of its population in India, where people live very close. And then India moved towards the ban and lockdown with the goal.
The chief of the IMF said that what we are seeing is this change, which seems to work better together with policy support. Because if you look at the indicators of mobility, then we are almost where we were before Kovid in India, which means that economic activities have resurfaced.
