NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman Arvind Panagariya has expressed his confidence that the size of the Indian economy can grow to $ 10 trillion over the next 15 years as compared to existing $ 2 trillion if India continues to reform and grow, as China did in last one and a half decade.
Panagariya stated that India started off to a rapid growth a little later than China, but now has the potential to accomplish in the next 15 years. He added that China has accomplished in last one and a half decade is very impressive as its economy has gone from $ 2 trillion 15 years ago to $ 10 trillion now. He added that despite a decrease in the growth rate, China provides a handsome $ 500 million or more to the annual growth of the global economy.
Describing India and China as 'two rare bright spots' in the context of a global economic slowdown, Panagariya stated that there is much scope for India to benefit from the Chinese experience in manufacturing, towards transforming India into a modern urban economy. He added that with China promoting out-bound investment and India seeking foreign capital and technology, which should enable us to take advantage of the synergies and put in place a vigorous framework to strengthen bilateral investment relationships. India has some active promotion policies as in India Making and implementation of India, while China has initiatives, including intelligent manufacturing.
He added that we need to have more consensus on co-operation in the region.
