The world is grappling with the COVID-19 outbreak. The conundrum, however, has been safeguarding lives while ensuring economic balance. The manufacturing units, supply-value chains, MSMEs, the hospitality sector, and other critical sectors are struggling to find a strong ground to recuperate from the huge economic loss the outbreak has brought. By the end of the third phase of the lockdown, we would have lost almost two months of industrial output, roughly equivalent to 8% of GDP a month. Therefore, the industry, especially the MSMEs, workers, and people from the lowest strata of the society are in dire need of a substantive and immediate stimulus package from the government.
MSMEs are the backbone of the Indian economy and are the worst-hit sectors. CII recommends a credit protection scheme for MSMEs, whereby 60-70% of the loan should be guaranteed by the government i.e. if the borrower defaults, the government should repay the bank up to the amount it has guaranteed, so the risk to the lender is limited. The allocation for this guarantee can be kept at Rs 2 lakh crore, though this may not entirely be utilised. MSMEs also are suffering because of the delayed payments, which are in the range of Rs 6 lakh crore. The outstanding payments should be made on an urgent basis to help MSMEs sail through the crisis. CII has also suggested the creation of a fund or SPV with a corpus of Rs 1.4-1.6 lakh Crore, which will subscribe to NCDs/Bonds of corporates rated A and above. The fund can be seeded by the Government contributing a corpus of Rs 50,000 crore, with further investments of Rs 40,000-50,000 crore from banks and the remaining Rs 50,000-60,000 crore by financial institutions. This will provide adequate liquidity to the industry, particularly the stressed sectors such as aviation, tourism, and hospitality. Building public infrastructure could boost demand and create jobs. Rs 4 Lakh Crore could be demarcated for the purpose wherein private investors and investment funds could be roped-in to increase the size of the investment. To begin with, the fund could be utilised for pending projects that would immediately enhance productivity. CII has sought an allocation of Rs 2 lakh crore to be earmarked for bailing out state-run electricity distribution companies that have been accumulating losses. The banks are also at a higher risk of running into an economic crisis as their current exposure to the private sector, including MSMEs, stands at Rs 29.05 lakh crore. Therefore, CII has recommended for recapitalising the banks with an allocation of Rs 2 lakh crores to manage any surge in NPAs.
Borrowings from domestic and foreign sources as well as raising revenues through disinvestments could also be considered to finance the Rs 15 lakh crore stimulus.

I am so happy and filled with JOY. I am Gordon Rees by name and I work as a taxi driver. I love playing lottery but I have not won any huge sum except for a few Pounds. I decided to search online for help on how I can win very big because I have been playing lottery for the past 10 years. Then, I saw a post about Dr Amber who specializes in lottery spells. I contacted him and he told me everything about how to get the spell done for me and I agreed. He prepared a lottery spell for me and within 3 days, he gave me the numbers to play the lottery of which I did and after 2 days, I was told that I have won the sum of 1 million Pounds on the lottery game I played. I was surprised about it and I had to make sure I verified everything before believing that I was the winner of 1 million Pounds and ever since then, my life has changed and I am so happy living my dream life. If you need help to win your lottery game, WhatsApp Dr Amber on: +1 (406) 646-2222 or email: amberlottotemple@yahoo.com

I started playing lottery games 3 years ago and I have never won big sums. I went online to seek help on how I can win big in my lottery games and I saw some nice reviews about Dr Amber who has made different people huge winners in their lottery games with his prayers. I gave it a try and I contacted Dr Amber who told me how and what to do before I can become a big lottery winner and I accepted. He made special prayers for me at his temple and gave me the required numbers to play the lottery game and when I played it, I won a massive $235.4 million POWERBALL jackpot. I was so happy and I chose to receive my winnings in a one-time, lump-sum payment of $160,038,447.27 at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee and the balance was given to the store that I bought & played the game from. I would love other people to seek help from him and he can be contacted through +1 (808) 481-5132 via call/text or email: amberlotterytemple@yahoo.com
