The report said that India’s recovery is on a solid path amid rapid vaccination progress, coal shortages and high oil prices could put the brakes on economic activity in the near term. But the country is in a better position to navigate financial turbulence compared to its situation during the ‘taper tantrum’ episode after the 2008-2009 global financial crisis. This is due to a stronger external position and measures to minimize risks to bank balance sheets.
