ET Now caught up with, Expenditure Management Panel, for his take on the 100 days of the Modi government as well as his macroeconomic outlook. Excerpts:It is a very welcome change. There is a positive outlook. So far whatever has been done at the ground level is positive. The corporate sentiment and the sentiment in the market have improved substantially because we had a lot of uncertainty in the previous two-three years. It is an excellent beginning.You will have to wait for at least six months for getting tangible numbers.Yes, that is right, and by the quarter four, you will also have the budget. So that will give you the numbers.You must put it in a larger perspective. It is true that we are looking forward on a positive note and the world economy has improved. Although we are not as dependent on the world economy, but that is a very positive sentiment. But investment, etc, would take some time. The second most important thing is that some of the hangovers of the previous problems are showing now in the banking sector in terms of larger NPAs. We have to just wait and watch, but things are looking up. They are positive and so far as the good GDP numbers are concerned, you would start seeing them after two quarters.Of course. But hostage is not the right word.Certainly.I am sorry, I cannot put a number to the second decimal point, but it does not matter that much. What matters to our country just now is really to make sure that poverty alleviation takes shape. Things change.I do not think it is about the rate of growth per se. The whole question that we as citizens of India have to ask ourselves is, why do you have such allocation powers in the hands of the government, ministries......?
