“In our view, it will take considerable time for growth to regain buoyancy even with a supportive monetary policy.”
“Fiscal policy has also been expansionary once off-budget spending is considered. Unfortunately, not only has it had limited success in reversing the slowing growth momentum but also cannot be stretched much further.”
