The World Bank Group has committed a $15-18 billion loan to India over the next three years to boost India’s economic growth. After a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim has asserted that new government is committed for introducing key reforms which are critical to bring back India’s economic growth to 9 percent and the World Bank fully supports this growth.
By adding further, World Bank President said that this financial support will help the country to build more quality infrastructure, expand financial access and reduce poverty more quickly and share prosperity among the people. India is the biggest client for the World Bank Group and has received $5.2 billion loan in the previous fiscal year. During the past three years, India had received about $9.8 billion loan from the World Bank Group.
After growing at around 9 percent growth rate during FY07-FY11, Indian economic growth slowed down to 6.7 percent during FY12 and below 5 percent during FY13 and FY14. The factors like high interest rates, low investments and slow execution of infrastructure projects have been impacting economy’s growth. The government expects Indian economic growth to recover at 5.5-6 percent in FY15.
