WEDNESDAY SEMINAR | China’s post-covid19 path to normalcy: parallels for India | Santosh Pai

Please register for the webinar here

Abstract

China was the first country to embark on a path to normalcy after the Covid-19 crisis. The groundwork for resumption of economic activity was laid out through a flurry of legislative and administrative activity at various levels on topics ranging from screening protocols for returning workers to tax sops for firms to re-start production. It is too early to judge the effectiveness of these measures. However, it might be worthwhile to examine some of the ideas underlying China’s policy toolkit as India starts its own path to economic recovery. Despite differences in our political systems and scale of industries we might find parallels in challenges faced.
