Finance Minister P Chidambaram said that Indian economy will continue to grow at 5-6 per cent regardless of Government’s efforts, but with effective governance, economic growth can rise to over 8 per cent. The country should focus on ensuring the conditions for economic growth. He said that there is a need of effective and efficient governance and steps like efficient use of money, time and design of projects can propel the growth rate to 8 - 9 per cent in the coming years
By adding further, he said that huge landmass with untapped resources, large young population with high aspirations that demand goods and services and entrepreneur class are reflecting India’s growth potential. Indians have a set of values and their nature to work hard would facilitate this growth, he added.
The finance minister said that the developments in global economies should not affect Indian (stock) markets and instead the focus should be on the performance of domestic companies. Meanwhile, India's GDP growth is estimated to slow down to a decade low of around 5 per cent in 2012-13 owing to the prevailing global economic slowdown. Before financial meltdown in 2008, it was growing at over 8 per cent.
