Covid 3rd wave may pull GDP growth down to 7 per cent: Economist Abhijit Banerjee
"The economy is going slow due to the COVID situation. Earlier the IMF had said GDP growth would be 12.5 per cent. Now it is saying it would be 9.5 per cent. I apprehend it might go down to 7 per cent. Another wave will decrease it further. If the country's economy does not improve, the state will not be able to move forward alone," Abhijit Vinayak Banerjee said.
