Narasimha Rao and Finance Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh into an opportunity for introducing far reaching economic reform. Politicians in ruling parties as well as in opposition did not understand much of the economic mess the country had fallen into these politicians, therefore wanted to give time to new Finance Minister to prove his worth. In the early days of the economic crisis Dr. Singh with the full support of the Prime Minister found it relatively easy to get his prescriptions accepted by the Union Cabinet. At Cabinet meetings other politicians kept quiet only to wait and watch the evolving policy measures being formulated by Dr Manmohan singh. The first action taken by Dr Singh towards restoring macroeconomic stability and external confidence was to devalue the Indian rupee in two steps, in 1991 aggregating 18 per cent against Special Drawing Rights. This was ably supported by the Reserve Bank of India through a tighter monetary policy. With economic skill and little political interference India succeeded in overcoming its macro-economic crisis in about two years. This was probably the fastest and least painful recovery under the stabilization package agreed with IMF by any developing country-Charan D.
