Indian Economy and the Middle Class Issues
No economy can sustain on high interest rates, to encourage investment and other economic related activities.
1. Since Modi took over , the inflation has come down from double digit to single digit to around 5%. So what is important higher inflation with 9% interest or low inflation with 8% interest, because high inflation eats more into your purchasing power.
2. With lower rate of interest , even the interest of loans e.g. housing, vehicles and others etc. will also come down, thereby enhancing economic activities and creating more jobs.
My request is to see the over all picture and long term benefits than just to see only some reduction in the rate of interest on PPF and other deposits.
