Investment outflows: India may need to adopt extraordinary measures to reverse this exodus
An exodus of foreign capital despite India’s robust macro indicators is an ‘out of syllabus’ puzzle in need of a response that goes beyond the textbook. Yield spreads between rupee and dollar assets must widen, Indian equities need a price correction and taxes on capital gains must ease.

Excessive austerity could worsen the economic situation that India is trying to escape
Austerity measures to reduce our import burden may sound prudent, but weaker aggregate demand could be risky for GDP growth. Knee-jerk responses to crises can backfire. Sri Lanka’s fertilizer experiment to save forex, for example, caused food scarcity.
