Global recession to last 2 years: Morgan Stanley

Chetan Ahya, Managing Director of Morgan Stanley, feels economies will take more time to come out of the global recession. The recession, he said, will take long to get over, and can last for as much as two years. As real economy comes under pressure, we will see rise in non-performing loans, he said, adding that credit markets will recover only once the recession is closer to an end. Ahya added the current account deficit and strong credit growth compounds problems.

Ahya also said the issue of exchange rates remains a key challenge to emerging markets, adding that he sees rupee depreciating to lows of Rs 54-55 per dollar in five or six months.
