Amid increased global protectionism incidence, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has said that India remained unaffected amid the global slowdown and protectionism talk in the developed countries. He added that such talk is heard only in the developed economies and not in India which indicates that the country is determined to grow with focus on investments.
Finance Minister said that “not a single sound or even 'a whisper' of protectionism is being heard in India and that this itself is a tribute to the fact that the country is willing to accept investments and tune its policies.”
FM pointed out that 'We are not satisfied with the tag of being the fastest economy in the world. We think we have a potential to do better'. He added that the policy-makers were under pressure because of peoples’ impatience to see India grow at a faster rate and eradicate poverty. Further, Jaitley suggested that the state governments should work together with the central government to continue path of growth, adding that in spite of India's growth being pegged at 7 to 7.5 per cent growth rate, there is scope for greater growth.
