Shankar Acharya, former Chief Economic Advisor and former chairman of Kotak Mahindra Bank, speaks to The Wire on how serious the economic situation is, how it could deteriorate, the impact of recent oil shocks on India’s economy, the prospects for robust growth in the next five years, how these concerns will affect the goal of becoming a $5 trillion economy by 2024, how effective are the steps the government has taken, what more is needed and, with particular reference to the need to fire up animal spirits with deep and radical structural reforms, will they happen. This is the second in our series of interviews with top economists on the situation facing the country.
