Breaking News - Expressing their support for the November 8 demonetisation of high-value currency that has resulted in a major cash crunch, a group of experts on Tuesday told Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the move help to strengthen the process of formalising the Indian economy, the major part of which is organised informally.
"Demonetisation was discussed as a move towards formal economy," NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Arvind Panagariya said, briefing reporters following Modi's interaction here with a set of noted economists at a session on "Economic Policy - The Road Ahead" organised by the think-tank.
"All the speakers stressed the need to bring workers and activity into the formal sector," Panagariya said in reference to the stated aims of the November 8 demonetisation announcement for curbing corruption, black money, counterfeit currency and terror financing.
