Excellent Boris Johnson, you are on the right track to revive your economy. Dear Indian Prime Minister Sir, kindly take a leaf from the diary of your British counterpart. Build, Build, Build must be the moto to rebuild the shattered India. I have been writing for quite some time on these lines. Unleash developmental activities through Govt projects. That will create massive employment. That will put a lot of money in the hands of people. That will create demand. That will incentivize production. That will result in expansion of economy. That will enhance the revenue collection. Balancing the book should not be repeat not be the taraka mantra. Borrow money. Increase the interest rates to 10% to 12% with a lock in period of 10 to 12 years. You will have enormous float which you can utilize for creating National wealth. Float a Gold Bind with 10 to 12 % interest, you can harness crores and crores of rupees which fill your coffer. Shed away your Gujarti mind set. Gove up your penchant for low interest regime. It has not worked out for the country. It will never work out in future. Monetize part of your deficit. Use that money for capital expenditure – not for revenue expenditure. You will turn round India just like Teddy Roosvelt did in 1930s. Please please, please. Regards akp
