India’s Indo-Pacific Economic Policy To Focus On National Interest: Centre
Editorial
SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Finance Ministry Officials Glossing Over First Quarter Gdp Estimates India is a big provider of technology The estimates of Gross Domestic Product for the April-June quarter released by thegovernment of India on August 31 paint a dismal picture of the Indian economy. Since theGDP in real terms (at 2011-12 prices) shows an increase of 13.5 per cent over the firstquarter GDP a year ago, and since 13.5 per cent appears an impressive figure, officialspokespersons have been putting a cheerful gloss over it. But a closer look reveals aneconomy getting further bogged down in a state of stagnation.The economy, it may be recalled, had contracted sharply in 2020-21 because of thepandemic and the associated lockdown that was particularly draconian in India, and therecovery in 2021-22 had been incomplete from the trough reached a year ago. The 2022-23first quarter figures therefore had assumed particular significance as an index of theeconomy’s underlying resilience, especially since the impact of Covid-19, though notaltogether absent, had lessened to such an extent that 2022-23 could be taken as a “normal”post-pandemic year. And the comparison here should be not with 2021-22 or 2020-21, bothof which were affected by the pandemic, but with 2019-20 which was the last “normal” pre-pandemic year.The first quarter GDP in 201920was Rs 35.85 lakh crores, and the first quarter GDP in2022-23 has been estimated at Rs 36.85 crores, which is only 2.8 per cent higher. Theeconomy in short is stagnating even at a time when the pandemic has largely abated andcan no longer be held responsible for it. Some official economists have expressedsatisfaction that at least the GDP figure has crossed what it was in the first quarter of 2019-20; but there has been a gap of three years in-between, during which the population hasincreased and the capital stock has expanded. Simply crossing the GDP of three years agotherefore is no cause for celebration; on the contrary, it reflects a situation of crisis. Putdifferently, between the pre-pandemic “normal” and the post-pandemic “normal”, the percapita GDP has fallen, even though the per capita capital stock has expanded.It must also be remembered that 2019-20 itself was not a great year for the Indian economy.In fact the first quarter GDP in 2019-20 had increased by only 5 per cent over the previousyear’s first quarter, compared to 8 per cent in the comparable period of the previous year,causing much disquiet among official economists. The stagnation that was setting in during2019-20 has thus persisted, and has even got intensified now.The pandemic was an extraneous imposition upon this picture of stagnation; it muddied thepicture and gave rise to the false impression that all the economic travails were because ofthe pandemic, that there was nothing fundamentally wrong with the underlying economy. Butonce this extraneous imposition is removed, we are back with the underlying stagnation,belying all the breezy official optimism. This stagnation is a matter of grave concern because even when growth brings misery to the working people, as it did in India during the heyday ofhe neo-liberal period, stagnation brings even greater misery.The basic reason for this stagnation is the stagnation or decline in the purchasing power inthe hands of the working people that occurs in a neoliberal economy because of growingincome inequality. In this specific instance however the rise in private consumptionexpenditure between the first quarters of 2019-20 and 2022-23has been higher than thegrowth rate of the GDP. True, the consumption of the working people has been languishingfor want of adequate purchasing power, but the consumption of the rich and the well-to-do,which had got restricted perforce during the pandemic, has now increased suddenly; andthis has pulled up the total private consumption expenditure. The immediate cause for thestagnation in GDP therefore lies elsewhere: there are two additional factors that prevent ahigher level of aggregate demand and hence a higher GDP. These are: a stagnation ingovernment consumption expenditure, and an increase in the trade deficit, i.e. in the excessof imports over exports.While private consumption expenditure in real terms (at 2011-12 prices) increased betweenthe first quarter of 2019-20 and that of 2022-23 from Rs 19.74 lakh crores to Rs22.08 lakhcrores, and while gross fixed capital formation - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara increased from Rs 11.66 lakh.

Agency News:New Delhi Aryna Sabalenka was visibly crestfallen after failing to get past a Grand Slam semi-final for the third time in her career on Thursday at the U.S. Open, but despite the heartbreak the Belarusian promised to return stronger the next time.Former world number two Sabalenka, 24, has won 10 titles

Rahul irritated by question ‘My 60s became failures, on Kohli, says ‘main bahar quite shocking’: Kohli to baith jau?’ critics after record hundred Agency News:New Delhi India vice-captain KL Rahul scored his first fifty in any format since returning to the side after a long injury break in India’s last Super 4 game in Asia Cup 2022 against Afghanistan but it was completely overshadowed by Virat Kohli’s record-breaking maiden T20I hundred. With regular captain Rohit Sharma deciding to rest, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli walked out to open the batting for India and the duo put together the tournament’s highest opening partnership (119) in this edition, laying the platform for India’s second-
biggest T20I win (in terms of margin of runs) by 101 runs. After the match, when KL Rahul came for the press conference it was expected that he will face multiple questions about Virat Kohli. And he did. But one particular question irked KL Rahul. A reporter asked the India opener, who was leading against Afghanistan in Rohit’s absence, whether Kohli can be tried as an opener even in the upcoming tournaments including the world considering he has a great at the top of the order in this format.The question did not go down well with KL Rahul, who came up with a coarse reply.

The premier batter, who had been finding himself at the wrong end for over two years, finally notched his 71st international ton, a milestone which came after a gap of over 1000 days.Kohli’s milestone came against Afghanistan in a dead rubber as the righthanded batter played shots all around the park, an innings which featured 12 boundaries
and six maximums. It took him just 53 balls to reach the triple digit mark and he did it in some fashion.Kohli blasted a four in the first ball of the penultimate over of the Indian innings bowled by pacer Fareed Ahmad. He then smoked a length ball over the mid-wicket fence for a maximum as fans both at the stadium and home finally got what they had been waiting for a long time.Not only he ended his century drought but his unbeaten knock of 122 (61) saw him scale a new record. Kohli toppled Rohit Sharma to become the Indian batter with highest.
