Research Report on the Impact of Virtual Digital Assets on Macroeconomic and Financial Stability of India
The Indian government has largely overlooked the cryptocurrency sector, attributed to its rapid growth that outpaced policymakers’ understanding of its workings. The potential impact on India’s financial sector and real economy is still being gauged. To address this, the Policy Consensus Centre (PCC) plans to conduct research analyzing cryptocurrency’s effects on India’s macroeconomic and fiscal stability
Creating an Ecosystem Promoting Responsible Smoking Choices among Indian Consumers
Smoking tobacco, while not banned, has historically been considered a harmful product in India. Even though the tax incidence on tobacco products is as high as 53%, consumers are not allowed to access alternative smoke delivery products, making the transition to less harmful devices for de-addiction difficult. This study aims to make a case for creating an ecosystem that promotes responsible smoking choices for tobacco consumers in India.
