Indian economy will grow over 8 percent this fiscal: Arvind Panagariya

24 Dec 2015 Evaluate

Niti Aayog Vice Chairman Arvind Panagariya has said that the Indian economy will grow over 8 percent this fiscal. He said that in the first half of the current fiscal, the GDP growth stood at around 7.2 percent and is expected to cross the 8 percent-mark in 2015-16. The Indian economy grew at an average 8.3 percent rate during the 2003-14 period, and in 2014-15, the growth was 7.3 percent.

Panagariya further said that only four countries Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and China have a growth rate in the range of 8 to 10 percent. He also cited five critical factors such as growth of merchandise exports, improved manufacturing and services sectors, shifting of workers from agriculture to industries and services, better wages for eliminating abject poverty and rapid urbanisation.

The Niti Aayog Vice Chairman also stressed on the need to have an improved growth rate in sectors such as agriculture and services and said that according to the 2011-12 data, the share of agriculture in employment is 49 percent while that in the GDP is 15 percent. He added that the best agriculture has done over a ten-year period is 4.7 percent during 1980s, and both industries and services have been growing faster (8 to 10 percent) in the last decade. He added that the share of agriculture will only decline in the future, and no fast growing economy has ever been able to reverse the trend.

He termed the Niti Aayog’s role as a facilitator and said the dissolution of the Planning Commission and the formation of Niti Aayog yielded good results, and its policies are in the right direction. Pangariya also emphasized on evolving the National Agriculture Marketing and implementing required upgradation and modernisation tools for the benefit of farmers, besides developing better storage facilities.
