India to become bigger than China eventually: Raghuram Rajan

23 Jan 2019 Evaluate

Former RBI governor Raghuram Rajan has expressed hopes that India will overtake China in economic size and will ultimately place itself in a better position to create infrastructure in the region which China is promising today. He said that historically, India had a bigger role in the region but China has now grown faster than India and has presented itself as a counter balance to India in the region. He also felt that the Indian economy would continue to grow as the growth rate in China would slow down.

According to him, besides Free Trade Agreement (FTA), there is a lot of scope for work to be done. Apart from business, he noted 'social sector can be another way and we can have more sharing of students across the region'. While noting that people movement and especially youth going to another country can have a strong impact, he said that India is the largest country in the region and it must play the role it needs to play. He pointed out that there are many places where India has funded the process, but a lot more can be done, including on trade side, so that tariffs can come down.

Rajan's comments assume importance with China working on a lot of infrastructure projects across the region, including in Nepal and in Pakistan. According to World Bank statistics for 2017, India has become the sixth largest economy leaving behind France. India’s gross domestic product (GDP) was at $2.59 trillion in 2017 compared with $2.58 trillion France’s economy. China was the second largest with a GDP of $12.23 trillion.
