Next budget to focus on boosting growth, says finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman

财政部长尼尔马拉·西塔拉曼：下年度预算将专注于促进经济增长

NEW YORK/NEW DELHI: India's economy will return to growth in 2021/22 and higher spending in the budget due in February will lay the foundations for even stronger growth in the next four to five years, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman told Reuters on Thursday.

周四，印度财政部长尼尔马拉·西塔拉曼对路透表示，印度经济将在2021-2022年恢复增长，支出的增加将为未来四到五年更强劲的增长奠定基础。

With the world's second highest cases of coronavirus despite a severe lockdown of its 1.3 billion people early on in the pandemic, India's economy is expected to contract nearly 10% in the 2020/21 financial year.

尽管在疫情初期印度13亿人口经历了严格的封锁，但印度的新冠病例仍位居世界第二。预计印度经济在2020-2021财年将萎缩近10%。

But a recovery is taking hold now, Sitharaman told the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit, 2021.

不过，西塔拉曼在路透社2021年全球投资展望峰会上表示，复苏正在稳步进行。

Unlike other countries such as the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom which poured billions of dollars in relief measures, the government has been more measured in its approach because of limited resources and to curb its budget deficit from ballooning.

与美国、日本和英国等其他国家不同，由于资源有限，印度政府在采取措施时更为谨慎，并在控制预算赤字膨胀。

Sitharaman suggested the government could ease up on spending in the months ahead to boost the growth rate.

西塔拉曼暗示，政府可能在未来几个月放宽支出，以提振经济增长率。

"I have to be conscious that if I don't spend now, then the stimulus is meaningless, if I don't spend now the revival is going to get deferred and we can't afford that."

“我必须意识到，如果现在不支出，那么刺激计划就毫无意义。如果现在不花钱，复苏就会被推迟，而我们承受不起后果。”
