JEFFREY FRANKEL No. A global recession is en tirelyTrue,avoidable.theodds of a down turn are much higher than usual in Europe, which has been hit hard by reduced sup plies of Russian natural gas; China, where COVID-19 lock downs already turned growth negative in the second quar ter; and other countries, in cluding emerging-market economies with debt troubles. Even the US economy is ex periencing a slowdown. I still maintain that the two con secutive quarters of negative GDP growth reported by the Bureau of Economic Analy sis do not signify that a US recession started in the first part of 2022. There are three reasons for this. First-quarter GDP will be revised on Sep tember 29, and second-quar ter GDP on August25; other indicators like gross domestic income (GDI) and employ ment were positive; and the recession ruling is up to the National Bureau of Econom ic Research. But rising inter est rates and the gloomy out look among America’s trad ing partners do mean that a US recession is more likely than usual at some point over the next two years. But a “global recession”? The Unit ed States is not the only place where a negative growth rule is not an agreed criterion for definingConsiderrecession.globalGDP. It has been rare in the postwar pe riod for global growth to fall below zero even for a single quarter, let alone two. Not even the severe downturns of 1974 and 1981 qualified. Even in times of apparent reces sion, negative growth in ad vanced economies is usually outweighed by still-positive growth among emergingmarket and developing econ omies. (Two exceptions were the 2008 global financial cri sis and the 2020 pandemicinduced recession.)

Just as the world economy appeared to be recovering from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, headline GDP growth has decelerated sharply or turned negative in several leading economies in 2022. And with annual inflation in many countries fast approaching double digits, it is not easy to see where global growth will come from.

ANNE O. KRUEGER When the COVID-19 pandem ic began, people cut their spending. Although unem ployment rose and supplies fell sharply due to pandemic containment measures, much of the potential income loss was offset by government policies. In the United States, it even paid to be unemployed. The result was that per sonal savings shot up. When COVID-related restrictions were later relaxed, demand increased rapidly. Supplychain disruptions, the time needed to restart production, and continuing worker short ages resulted in significantly slower supply responses. The Fed’s balancing act is difficult: Some, but not too much, dampening of de mand is warranted. At the same time, inventories (in creases in which partly re flected stockpiling during supply shortages and will inevitably be run down) are beginning to accumulate and retail sales are losing some momentum. Whether the Fed’s policy tightening will check demand growth just enough as supply increases will determine whether in flationary or recessionary pressures dominate in the US. If policymakers’ judg ment is correct, the US could re-attain the Fed’s target in flation rate and satisfactory growth without falling into recession.
Notwithstanding the pitfalls of forecasting anything these days, my cracked and worn crystal ball sees a global re cession occurring in the next year.For me, recession risk as sessment has always been a two-step process: the stallspeed alert and the impacts of inevitable shocks. Econo mies – whether of single countries or the world as a whole – approaching the stall speed lack the resilience to withstand the blow of shocks. For the global economy, the last five recessions have all occurred when world GDP growth fell below the 2.5% threshold. That represents a one-percentage-point short fall from the post-1980 aver age of 3.5%. As such, when global growth falls into the 2.5% to 3.5% range, my rule is to sound a stall-speed alert. The lower half of that range, 2.5% to 3%, is especially omi nous – a perfect predictor of global recession.

Instead, the committee said in its report, that some other malware was found in five of the 29 mobiles. Headed by former Supreme Court judge, Justice RV Raveendran, the com mittee submitted its report to the court. It means that the Cen tre did not snoop on hacks. The committee’s only comment against the government was that it did not cooperate with the in quiry.

IS A GLOBAL INEVITABLE?RECESSION
he Big Question is a regular feature in which Project Syn dicate commentators con cisely address a timely topic. In this Big Question, we ask Jeffrey Frankel, Anne O. Krueger, Jim O’Neill, and Stephen S. Roach how steep the world economic down turn is likely to be.
In contrast to the common practice in Western econo mies, a global recession is not really defined as two consecu tive quarters of negative GDP growth, because in many large emerging economies, such as India, such conditions rarely arise. Even if many Western economies are expe riencing back-to-back quar ters of negative growth, we can end up with a “global” recession in which world GDP growth averages around 2%. Over the past 25 years, the US and China between them often have accounted for more than 80% of annual global GDP growth. So, if these two economies are both in their respective versions of recession, then that will virtually guarantee a global downturn. Given their cur rent weaknesses and chal lenges, such a scenario is quiteButpossible.Iamless convinced of this than I probably was a few months ago. That is be cause there is creeping evi dence that the inflationary surge has – at least so far –been transitory, with com modity prices easing and measures of long-term infla tion expectations quite sta ble. If this continues, central banks will become less hawk ish and will not have to weak en their economies further to stabilize prices.
as CM Hemant Soren faces disqualification as MLA for allegedly granting himself and his aides mining licences. By doing so Soren is said to have violated section 9-A of the Representation of Peoples Act, the basis on which the BJP is seeking his disqualifi cation. A letter from the Elec tion Commission of India to Governor Ramesh Bais in a sealed envelope purportedly suggests Soren’s disqualifica tion. The chief minister said he did “not know anything as of now about any order for me”. In any case he is unlike ly to accept the EC verdict without a challenge. Soren has the option of challenging the decision in a court and ap pointing someone else to run theItgovernment.isnowbeing speculated that the Bharatiya Janata Party may take advantage of the unstable situation and form a government of its own. The party is said to be counting on Congress legisla tors, some of whom crossvoted in the elections for President. Three others were caught with unaccounted cash in West Bengal. They were subsequently arrested. The Jharkhand govern ment is a coalition of JMM (30), Indian National Con gress (16), RJD (1) and NCP (1). The BJP has 26 MLAs. To form a government it has to carry out a Maharashtra-like Operation Lotus to wean away the Congress legisla tors. Given the state of disar ray the Congress is in, it may not be impossible. The charge against Soren is serious. The chief minis ter, however, said that the BJP was blatantly misusing ED and the CBI.

Ranchi : The Chief Election Commission has sent a letter to Jharkhand Governor Ramesh Bais recom mending cancellation of the Assembly mem bership of CM He mant Soren. He will then have to resign from the post of chief minister. Former Jharkhand CM Raghubar Das and the BJP have been de manding disqualifica tion of Soren as MLA in an office of profit matter. They accused Soren of extending a mining lease to him self. Terming it as vio lation of the office of profit and Representa tion of the People’s Act, the BJP and Raghubar Das have written a letter to the governor. With the is suance of the Gover nor’s order on the in structions of the Elec tion Commission, Soren’s membership will end. In such a situation, Soren may have to resign as the CM. However, the JMM-Congress alli ance which is led by Soren has a majority in the Assembly. So, after the resignation he can again stake claim to form the gov ernment.

When he formed the party, he formed the government with a big majority in the very first election. Later his son-in-law Chandraba bu Naidu took over his party during his life time. Then some of NTR’s children also helped Naidu as NTR had married a woman much younger than him and decided to hand over the leader ship of the party to her. Despite this, it is a fact that Chandrababu Naidu’s capture of the party was not liked by many in NTR’s family. Only when Jr NTR has become active, it is be ing said that history can repeat itself.

New Delhi (Agencies): India’s strong economic growth offers room for the Reserve Bank of India to raise rates by another 60 basis points as the central bank seeks to stamp out high inflation, DBS Group Research said in a note on Thursday.India’s gross domestic product (GDP) in the first quarter of current fiscal year likely surged 16% year-on-year based on most leading indicators, the research house estimated. Favourable base effect after the onset of Delta coronavirus variant last year will additionally lift the yearon-year GDP numbers, Radhika Rao, senior economist at DBS Group Research, wrote in the note.
