-Ideas for India&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;In this article, Pronab Sen, Country Director for the India Central Programme of the International Growth Centre, argues that India&amp;rsquo;s recent demonetisation has penalised virtually the entire informal sector, and perhaps damaged it permanently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
At the stroke of the midnight hour of 9 November 2016, India lost 86% of its monetary base. The media &amp;ndash; print, electronic and social &amp;ndash; has been fulsome in its praise of Prime Minister Modi&amp;rsquo;s &amp;ldquo;master stroke&amp;rdquo;, by which he has reportedly destroyed the base of corruption in India. &amp;ldquo;Surgical strike&amp;rdquo;, &amp;ldquo;shock and awe&amp;rdquo;, &amp;ldquo;big bang reform&amp;rdquo; are only a few of the laudatory phrases used to describe the pre-emptive demonetisation of 500 and 1,000 rupee notes. There is no doubt whatsoever that Mr. Modi has pulled off a major political and publicity coup and substantially enhanced his reputation as a muscular leader, but surely somebody needs to ask: at what price?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let me begin with the supposed gains from this measure. At the heart of all the rejoicing is the assumption that all those who have accumulated substantial amounts of ill-gotten wealth keep their takings in the form of cash, and use this cash to amass even more ill-gotten wealth through the black or parallel economy in an ever-growing spiral. If this is indeed true, then the demonetisation will certainly have a huge positive impact on the state of the Indian economy by choking off the stock of liquidity which finances black activities. Unfortunately, this assumption is only partially, and not even substantially, true. While there are certain criminal activities (such as smuggling, drug peddling, gun running, etc.) that follow this pattern, they collectively account for a miniscule fraction of what is commonly understood as &amp;lsquo;black money&amp;rsquo;. The really big bucks come from two other activities &amp;ndash; corruption and tax evasion.&lt;br /&gt;

The media &amp;ndash; print, electronic and social &amp;ndash; has been fulsome in its praise of Prime Minister Modi&amp;rsquo;s &amp;ldquo;master stroke&amp;rdquo;, by which he has reportedly destroyed the base of corruption in India. &amp;ldquo;Surgical strike&amp;rdquo;, &amp;ldquo;shock and awe&amp;rdquo;, &amp;ldquo;big bang reform&amp;rdquo; are only a few of the laudatory phrases used to describe the pre-emptive demonetisation of 500 and 1,000 rupee notes. There is no doubt whatsoever that Mr. Modi has pulled off a major political and publicity coup and substantially enhanced his reputation as a muscular leader, but surely somebody needs to ask: at what price?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me begin with the supposed gains from this measure. At the heart of all the rejoicing is the assumption that all those who have accumulated substantial amounts of ill-gotten wealth keep their takings in the form of cash, and use this cash to amass even more ill-gotten wealth through the black or parallel economy in an ever-growing spiral. If this is indeed true, then the demonetisation will certainly have a huge positive impact on the state of the Indian economy by choking off the stock of liquidity which finances black activities. Unfortunately, this assumption is only partially, and not even substantially, true. While there are certain criminal activities (such as smuggling, drug peddling, gun running, etc.) that follow this pattern, they collectively account for a miniscule fraction of what is commonly understood as &amp;lsquo;black money&amp;rsquo;. The really big bucks come from two other activities &amp;ndash; corruption and tax evasion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ideasforindia.in/article.aspx?article_id=1720&quot; title=&quot;http://www.ideasforindia.in/article.aspx?article_id=1720&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

Shock and oh damn -Pronab Sen

-Ideas for India In this article, Pronab Sen, Country Director for the India Central Programme of the International Growth Centre, argues that India’s recent demonetisation has penalised virtually the entire informal sector, and perhaps damaged it permanently. At the stroke of the midnight hour of 9 November 2016, India lost 86% of its monetary base. The media – print, electronic and social – has been fulsome in its praise of Prime Minister Modi’s “master stroke”, by which he has reportedly destroyed the base of corruption in India. “Surgical strike”, “shock and awe”, “big bang reform” are only a few of the laudatory phrases used to describe the pre-emptive demonetisation of 500 and 1,000 rupee notes. There is no doubt whatsoever that Mr. Modi has pulled off a major political and publicity coup and substantially enhanced his reputation as a muscular leader, but surely somebody needs to ask: at what price? Let me begin with the supposed gains from this measure. At the heart of all the rejoicing is the assumption that all those who have accumulated substantial amounts of ill-gotten wealth keep their takings in the form of cash, and use this cash to amass even more ill-gotten wealth through the black or parallel economy in an ever-growing spiral. If this is indeed true, then the demonetisation will certainly have a huge positive impact on the state of the Indian economy by choking off the stock of liquidity which finances black activities. Unfortunately, this assumption is only partially, and not even substantially, true.
