He estimated a potential decline of 20-50 basis points in the growth rate, which would depend on how well India bear or diverts this shock. D Subbarao further said that trade effects will be low, income will increase inequality and will put additional pressure on India’s already weak formal employment attitudes.
Pointing to risk from China
