Economists were sceptical about the impact of austerity measures announced on Thursday that included some curbs on government spending. The government has been criticised for its piecemeal approach to the economic crisis so far. “We believe policymakers’ decision to continue the bad mix of growth since the credit crisis is at the heart of most of the macro challenges facing the country,” Morgan Stanley economist Chetan Ahya said on Thursday.
