GDP growth in Q1 records 20.1% recovery on low base

印度第一季度GDP增长20.1%，创纪录

NEW DELHI: Economic growth soared to a record high in the April-June quarter due to a low base and a rebound in manufacturing and construction, as well as robust growth in agriculture, which has remained resilient throughout the pandemic.

新德里：由于基数低，制造业和建筑业反弹，以及在疫情期间保持弹性的农业的强劲增长，4月至6月印度经济增长创新高。

Data released by the National Statistical Office (NSO) on Tuesday showed GDP growth rose 20.1% in the three months to June, the first quarter of the 2021-22 fiscal year, compared with a record contraction of 24.4% in the year-ago period. It was also higher than 1.6% growth recorded in January-March 2021.

印度国家统计局(NSO)周二公布的数据显示，在截至今年6月的三个月里，即2021-2022财年的第一季度，印度GDP增长了20.1%，而去年同期则创纪录地收缩了24.4%。这也高于2021年1月至3月1.6%的增速。

Experts said while the recovery is gathering momentum, the first quarter numbers should be interpreted with some caution as the economy is still to recover lost ground after the bruising impact of the lockdows and curbs to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 infection.

专家们指出，虽然第一季度的经济恢复势头正在增强，但由于受到新冠肺炎疫情封锁和限制措施的冲击，经济仍处于恢复阶段，因此应该谨慎地解读第一季度的数据。

The latest June quarter numbers are close to the Reserve Bank of India’s forecast of 21.4%.

最新的6月份季度数据接近印度储备银行21.4%的预测。

A spate of indicators in the past few months have shown that several sectors have staged a robust rebound although some sectors, particularly in the crucial services segment, are yet to recover fully.

过去几个月的一系列指标显示，多个行业出现了强劲反弹，尽管一些行业(尤其是至关重要的服务业)尚未完全复苏。

“The Q1:2021-22 data reaffirms the government’s prediction of an imminent V-shaped recovery made last year at this time. Increase of 20.1% in GDP -- despite the intense second wave in the months of April-May -- highlights the continued economic recovery,” said Krishnamurthy Subramanian, chief economic adviser.

首席经济顾问Krishnamurthy Subramanian表示：“2021-2022财年第一季度的数据重申了政府去年这个时候做出的V型复苏即将到来的预测。尽管4月至5月出现了第二波强劲的GDP增长，但20.1%的GDP增长突显出经济持续复苏。”

This is just a recovery. Good that government did not impose lockdown during the 2nd wave.

这只是复苏。好在政府没有在第二波疫情期间实行封锁。

Before 2014, economy was running! It was same till November 2016! Then it started walking! By 2019 December it was using crutches to walk! March 2020, it became sick and bedridden!. Now it's just sitting on the bed

2014年之前，经济还在跑，直到2016年11月

到2019年12月，经济踉踉跄跄前行！

2020年3月，已经“生病卧床不起”

Sad news for Congress

对国大党来说是不幸的消息

Lsk Kumar

Oh really on a very low base. Nothing to trumpet about. Where are the jobs? Has the percapita income gone up? The whole industry is still in red except the ones favored by this government.

基数真的很低，没什么好吹嘘的。

工作岗位在哪里？人均收入增加了吗？

除了受到政府青睐的行业外，所有行业都处于亏损状态。

mohit pathak

After long 2nd lockdown of 110 days this jump in GDP is natural & is not magic of Feku Modi. Had Feku reduced prices of Petroleum Products, other commodity prices may have reduced to give relief to common man. Beggar Pakistan reduced rates by Rs 1.50 BUT NIGGARDLY FEKU IS ADAMANT.

在长达110天的第二次封锁之后，GDP跃升是自然的，不是莫迪的魔法。如果莫迪降低了石油产品的价格，其他大宗商品的价格可能也会降低，这样可以缓解普通人的压力。乞丐巴基斯坦降低了1.50卢比的利率，但莫迪很小气，态度坚决。
