Impact of Demonetization on GDP
Impact of Demonetization on GDP IMPACT OF DEMONETIZATION ON INDIAN GDP INTRODUCTION When the government of any country cease a currency unit or put a stop to its status as a legal tender is known as demonetization. On 8 November 2016, PM Narendra Modi, carried out a demonetization exercise in India that is considered to be the biggest ever. Under the exercise, the notes with the highest denomination of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000, lost their worth in one night and were withdrawn from public use. ADVANTAGES Put an end to the use of fake currency Help in tackling corruption Reduced of illegal activities Encourage digitization Disclosed black money DISADVANTAGES Inconvenience to public. Disruption of business activities. Labour/wage payment issues Huge economic cost to nation. Problematic situation for small scale business. IMPACT ON GDP GDP is the acronym for Gross Domestic Product. The GDP growth rate of India in 20152016 fell from 8.01% to 7.11% demonetization took place. It has also adversely impacted the functionality of banks as there was more pressure on them by the current account holders demanding large sums of cash and the main work of the banks, i.e., to issue and manage loans was put on a hold. The growth of the farming sector stood at 5.2% for the fourth quarter FY17 while for manufacturing sector it stopped at 5.3%. The reduction in the consumption demand has a great impact on the GDP formation of a country. But the rise in festival demand would help to offset the fall in overall impact. Once the cash flow becomes normal with time the effect on GDP will be less affected and the growth of the economy will be in the good pace. Impact on the growth of India As the money flow is less the demand will be slow and this will hamper the growth rate Different economist have a different view, for some, it is good for fictional longterm gain as the government will have more revenue India being a cashbased and demonetization will temporarily decrease the demand as that will result to slow down in the consumer market It is difficult for people to understand who to deal with it as there was not a perfect plan for its implementation, leading to slow down of the consumer market as people have become cashless in almost every sense. CONCLUSION It can be said that the effect of demonetization will be seen positively in the passage of time and all the disadvantages will be outweighed. The bold step taken by the government is to be seen with the longterm benefit and everyone should at least try to hold the hands with the government in order to make the cash flow easier in every possible manner.
