21 Nov 2012 Evaluate

Confident over the retrieval of the Indian economy’s high-growth trajectory within a couple of years, Finance Minister P Chidambaram said that there was no scope for gloom or despair, on the crisis which resulted in global slowdown since 2008.

Though, the country has registered about 5.5 percent growth in the first quarter, the government is hopeful of an improvement in GDP growth rate in the second half. Along with India, countries like China, Indonesia and to some extent Brazil and South Africa has acquired a decent growth rate. Apparently referring to the decisions on fuel price and LPG price hike, Chidambaram stated that government had taken a number of decisions to revive growth, but some of them are painful.

Further, on the sidelines Chidambaram said that the country must use its finances judiciously and prudently to tide over the difficulty. He also added that advanced economies are doing very badly and thus their growth in 2012 is expected to be only about 1.2 percent, which is also likely to affect the Indian economy.
