Many developed market (DM) economies were very aggressive in their macro policy response. As an example, in the US fiscal deficit expanded very sharply for two consecutive years with a significant portion of this involving direct cash transfers to people. This, accommodated with extensive monetary easing, sowed the seeds for the current dis-equilibrium being faced in that economy. In contrast many emerging markets (EMS) including India were much more nuanced in their fiscal and monetary responses, partly respecting the fact that they didn't have the privilege of printing 'reserve currencies' of the world.
