| MUMBAI:
After the bedlam of political campaigning and canvassing, the dust has finally
settled on 15th General Elections, one of the biggest democratic exercises in
the world. The mandate by the people is clear, a resounding ‘yes’ for
a stable government. The verdict has gone against estimates of a hung parliament
and India will finally see a stable coalition government. All eyes are now set
on policies that the new administration adopts to fight the economic downturn.
The
big question that is on everyone’s mind is, how will the new
political equations change the economic policies of the country
and impact the business environment, household budgets and the economy
at large. To address these apprehensions about the impact of the
election results on our economy, CNBC-TV18 will organise a panel
discussion with leading policy commentators and market experts on
‘Election Results 09-The Economic Impact’ in the capital
on 25May.
Commenting
on the forum, CNBC-TV 18 and CNBC AWAAZ Vice President, Marketing
Mr. Neel Chowdhury said, “People have unanimously voted for
a stable government in these elections. They now expect the new
government at the centre to deliver on their expectations. ‘Election
Results 09-The Economic Impact’ will decode the challenges
and opportunities that the new government will face in terms of
economic and political realities”
The
panelists for the forum will include dignitaries like Mr. Ridham Desai, MD, Morgan
Stanley, Mr. Ramesh Damani, Member BSE and Mr. Madhusudan Kela - Reliance Capital
Asset Management who will discuss as to what the new government needs do for the
Indian economy, how efficiently will it combat challenges it now faces, and what
would be the various implications of the UPA government coming to power. The forum
will also try to gauge the market pulse by discussing what the markets will welcome
and reject. The event will be moderated by Mr. Karan Thapar and Mr. Udayan Mukherjee,
revered names in journalism.
This event is the culmination of a special
2 part series from CNBC-TV18 which examined the impact of the general elections
on the Indian economy and the markets. The first ground forum, Election 2009-
Economic Impact was held in New Delhi on April 1, 2009 and was tremendously well
received by all stakeholders. ‘Election
Results 09-The Economic Impact’ will be held on May 2009, 25 at Taj Palace
New Delhi, 6 pm onwards. |
