Coronavirus outbreak: Bimal Jalan pitches for fiscal stimulus

Jalan highlighted that India's macroeconomic situation was already troublesome and the growth would be impacted further due to the COVID-19 pandemic. "And we should not worry about a fiscal deficit target being higher than what has been announced. Because this is much more important. You know if there is security matter or something then you spend money more," he said.
