So Deepa, what is holding up and where are the cracks starting to show?
6:38
And that's a good sort of segue point, right, because especially like we had two shocks recently, one was COVID and the second was Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
6:48
India came through as the world's fastest growing major economy through all those periods and that still continues.
6:54
So it is still riding some tailwinds of how its growth is structured from some of these previous shocks and from how economic policy has been tailored.
7:03
And there are a couple of points there.
7:05
One is for better or for worse, the government is a huge driver of growth.
7:09
So be it in terms of how the government is supporting with an economic stabilization fund right now, how the government has increased its sort of proportion of fuel and fertilizer subsidies, and also how the government is continuing to support infrastructure spending in India.
