Exuding confidence that India had the “resources and the wisdom to grapple and deal" with the crisis, Singh said all instruments of public policy -- monetary, fiscal, public investment and exchange rate -- “will be deployed" to tackle it.

Noting that the global economy was going through “choppy waters", the Prime Minister said “we can and we will survive this crisis".
