He further said that the two structural reforms -- GST and demonetisation -- will benefit the economy in the medium and long-term. Now whole country is his market,” Jaitley said while responding to questions regarding the second quarter economic growth estimates. “The GST impact was only for one quarter mainly because of destocking.
