Highlighting improved Indian economic growth, World Bank Chief Economist for the South Asia Region, Hans Timmer has said that the next government needs to focus on export-led growth. He also added that the country grew too much in the last five years, on the back of domestic demand and its exports.
Hans Timmer praised attempts to liberalize markets within India, further saying ‘that is what is needed to become more competitive.’ Besides, he emphasized that the GST is trying to create more flexibility within the country, so that it's easier to trade between states and noted ‘that's what you need if you want to trade also with foreign countries’.
World Bank Chief Economist also said that a lot of domestic issues that have to be addressed to unleash that potential that has not been utilized now in exports. He said it's not one single issue that can solve.
