EXPERT VIEWS

"If the crisis deepens further and there is greater volatility in financial flows, there is an increased risk of this (currency war) happening. But our view is that if such tensions arise, it should be eased through the dialogue and not through competitive devaluations."

Pranab Mukherjee
Finance Minister
"I don't know what note you people are talking about, in any case the matter is before the court, it is not proper for me to comment on a matter that is subjudice. But as far as Mr Chidambaram is concerned, as finance minister he continues to enjoy my full confidence, as home minister he continues to enjoy my full confidence."

Manmohan Singh
Prime Minister
"I still think a double-dip recession for the world's major economies is unlikely. But my confidence in that belief is being eroded daily by the steady drip of difficult economic news. A crisis made in the developed world could become a crisis for developing countries."

Robert Zoellick
World Bank President
