19 Jul 2013 Evaluate

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, despite raising concerns over economic slowdown and volatility in foreign exchange markets, is hopeful that the government’s steps will show their impact soon. “The impact of initiatives taken by the government will be felt in the second half of the current fiscal,' Manmohan Singh said.

He also assured that his government will leave no stone unturned to ensure the recovery of the economy. Further, while underscoring that the basic fundamentals remain sound and healthy, PM said that the government is committed to bringing the situation under control.

Amidst rising concerns over the volatility in the Indian markets and the rupee, there have been many steps announced by the government in the past few days. The government in a bid to boost the sagging economy, decided to hike Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in 13 sectors, including 100 per cent in telecom and higher caps in insurance and defence sectors.

Further, allaying the mounting fears that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) may hike interest rates in its monetary policy review on July 30, Prime Minister stated that steps taken by the central bank to stabilise rupee do not signal a rise in rates.
