With US President Donald Trump terming India and Russia as ‘dead economies’, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has asserted that India is the world's fastest-growing major economy and will soon become the third largest. He added that international institutions and economists see India as the bright spot in the global economy.
He said India is contributing to almost 16 per cent of global growth, added that it is also widely expected that ‘we will become the third largest’ economy in a few years. He said ‘In just over a decade, India has rapidly transformed from being one of the Fragile 5 to the fastest-growing major economy in the world. We have risen from the 11th largest economy to one of the top 5 economies, driven by our reforms, the hard work of our farmers, MSMEs and entrepreneurs’.
He further said that in the last decade, the government has taken transformative measures to promote India as the manufacturing hub of the world. He said India's young, skilled and talented workforce is driving innovation and competitiveness of the Indian industry. He noted ‘Our exports have steadily increased during the last 11 years. In an increasingly protectionist world, India has done mutually beneficial trade agreements with the UAE, UK, Australia and EFTA (European Free Trade Area) countries’. He added ‘We are also committed to similar trade agreements with other countries’.
