Interest rates, corruptions taking a toll on country's investments: FICCI

29 Jul 2013 Evaluate

Both domestic and overseas investments have taken a hit on account of interest rates and widespread corruptions in the general administration, according to the chief of a leading industry chamber, Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry’s (FICCI) president Naina Lal Kidwai. She has underscored that lackluster investments and slowing industrial growth are already weighing on employment situation, with Job generation turning out to be biggest concern for the country, given the addition of 10-12 million new workers every year to the workforce.

Taking a note of Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE)’s data, Kidwai highlighted that investments in new projects during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 were way lower than what was registered in the corresponding quarter of the last year.  Total investments in new projects in India plunged by 65.20% to Rs 77,463.4 crore in April-June quarter as compared to Rs 222,659.8 crore recorded during the corresponding quarter of last year, according to data compiled by CMIE.

Further, Kidwai has urged RBI to take into account the sluggishness in industrial growth while deciding on policy rates. 'Any increase in interest rates at this juncture will be a major blow to the industry and overall growth,' she said. These comments assume significance as they come ahead of RBI’s monetary policy review. 

Leading industrialists and representatives of business chambers, including Kidwai, are scheduled to meet Manmohan Singh at his official 7, Race Course Road residence to deliberate upon the issues plaguing the country's economy.
