&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;What needs to be ensured is that the recovery is not hamstrung by damaged household and SME balance sheets because of the extended loss of wages and incomes. This requires extensive income support now.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Sometimes we miss the forest for the trees, and at other times the trees themselves become the story. That seems to be the case with India&amp;rsquo;s 3Q20 GDP print.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Some have exulted over headline growth printing a &amp;ldquo;better-than-expected&amp;rdquo; -7.5 per cent rate on a year-ago basis, while others, including the RBI, have lamented that this puts India in its first ever &amp;ldquo;technical recession&amp;rdquo;. But neither inference is meaningful. After clocking -24 per cent the previous quarter, printing a growth rate that is one percentage point higher than expected is nothing to write home about and, no, India is not in a technical recession.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) in the US defines a technical recession to be one where the growth rate is negative for two consecutive quarters. But the growth rate is measured on a quarter-over-quarter, not year-ago, basis. Almost all large economies, including China, publish official quarterly growth numbers. India&amp;rsquo;s CSO doesn&amp;rsquo;t. This leaves us to our own devices. JP Morgan&amp;rsquo;s estimates suggest that on a quarterly basis, India&amp;rsquo;s GDP plunged 25 per cent in 2Q20 and recovered by 21 per cent in 3Q20. India did not suffer two consecutive quarters of negative growth, and, therefore, it is not in a recession.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Sometimes we miss the forest for the trees, and at other times the trees themselves become the story. That seems to be the case with India&amp;rsquo;s 3Q20 GDP print.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Some have exulted over headline growth printing a &amp;ldquo;better-than-expected&amp;rdquo; -7.5 per cent rate on a year-ago basis, while others, including the RBI, have lamented that this puts India in its first ever &amp;ldquo;technical recession&amp;rdquo;. But neither inference is meaningful. After clocking -24 per cent the previous quarter, printing a growth rate that is one percentage point higher than expected is nothing to write home about and, no, India is not in a technical recession.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) in the US defines a technical recession to be one where the growth rate is negative for two consecutive quarters. But the growth rate is measured on a quarter-over-quarter, not year-ago, basis. Almost all large economies, including China, publish official quarterly growth numbers. India&amp;rsquo;s CSO doesn&amp;rsquo;t. This leaves us to our own devices. JP Morgan&amp;rsquo;s estimates suggest that on a quarterly basis, India&amp;rsquo;s GDP plunged 25 per cent in 2Q20 and recovered by 21 per cent in 3Q20. India did not suffer two consecutive quarters of negative growth, and, therefore, it is not in a recession.&lt;/p&gt;

JP Morgan&rsquo;s estimates suggest that on a quarterly basis, India&rsquo;s GDP plunged 25 per cent in 2Q20 and recovered by 21 per cent in 3Q20. India did not suffer two consecutive quarters of negative growth, and, therefore, it is not in a recession.</p>

Govt citing lack of fiscal space for reluctance to provide adequate support to economy is odd -Jahangir Aziz

-The Indian Express What needs to be ensured is that the recovery is not hamstrung by damaged household and SME balance sheets because of the extended loss of wages and incomes. This requires extensive income support now. Sometimes we miss the forest for the trees, and at other times the trees themselves become the story. That seems to be the case with India’s 3Q20 GDP print. Some have exulted over headline growth printing a “better-than-expected” -7.5 per cent rate on a year-ago basis, while others, including the RBI, have lamented that this puts India in its first ever “technical recession”. But neither inference is meaningful. After clocking -24 per cent the previous quarter, printing a growth rate that is one percentage point higher than expected is nothing to write home about and, no, India is not in a technical recession. The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) in the US defines a technical recession to be one where the growth rate is negative for two consecutive quarters. But the growth rate is measured on a quarter-over-quarter, not year-ago, basis. Almost all large economies, including China, publish official quarterly growth numbers. India’s CSO doesn’t. This leaves us to our own devices. JP Morgan’s estimates suggest that on a quarterly basis, India’s GDP plunged 25 per cent in 2Q20 and recovered by 21 per cent in 3Q20. India did not suffer two consecutive quarters of negative growth, and, therefore, it is not in a recession. Please click here to read more.
