The countrywide lockdown had resulted in a 23.7 per cent contraction in the GDP in the June quarter of FY20 and was also one of the prime reasons for the 7.3 per cent contraction in FY21.
Das said India's financial system will have a critical role to play in fulfilling the aspirations and needs of the economy on the road to recovery, according to Indian media reports.
The recovery that had commenced in the second half of 2020-21 was dented by the second wave of the pandemic in April-May 2021, he added.
