How deep could this Double Dip be?

The global economy is not out of the woods yet. A precarious situation looms large over the fragile recovery that we see. Unwieldy government deficit, demanding tax regimes, circumspect consumer demand and a feeble job market could contrive to create the perfect storm – double dip recession. This is an economic jargon, which means an economic downturn that apparently ends with a period of economic growth, but in reality gives rise to another, possibly bigger, dip.

What will the consequences be for the global recovery in case a double- dip recession occurs?

How will countries like India and China react to this threat?

Is this term for real or just a figment of the economists’ imagination?

Economy with Humpty & Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty got off the wall,

Humpty Dumpty went to play ball,

The Maharanis courtiers and Yuvraj's men,

Said they'd not mess with fuel price again !

The opposition rioted; called a 'Bandh' for all,

But the silliness stopped when FM stood tall,

Whither other subsidies?

What about reforms?

Has Humpty Dumpty reverted to norm?

One does not know; One never will,

Is Humpty back on his fence?

Content to be still.....

"So Is the subsidy reform by deregulation of Oil and Gas just a diversionary tactic, or a strategic step towards fixing systemic asymmetries?"

THINK & WRITE........Your Opinion is INDIA's Voice !!!!
