Reserve Bank Governor Raghuram Rajan has said that if India don’t make tremendous investments and improves its supply situation, it will not be able to have a GDP growth of 9 per cent. In order to achieve the growth, he said there is a need for large investments which could lead to higher demand. However, he warned against populist policies saying they are driven by a desperate need for growth while the fact is that the real ways of growth are really hard.
Rajan further said that he see 9 per cent growth as a situation where India is investing tremendous amount and thus creating the supply which will then help the demand. Hence, the country should not just boost the demand but also need to boost supply, which means a lot of work on a number of fronts which currently the government is engaged in.
He however said that 9 per cent growth rate is a steady process and cannot be attained overnight. He stated that there is a need to eliminate the supply constraints including human capital. Besides, Rajan said that “India cannot have much higher levels of growth without inflation and for that the country have to create underlying supply conditions that would allow India to sort of have a much higher demand.
