Indian Economy overview

It’s almost a decade since we entered into the 2000s. Indian Economic growth in these years wasn’t so impressive for the western economies. It proves to be one of the worst economic period for those economies. Indeed, the so-called fastest growing economies (such as India, Brazil, China, Mexico, Russia, and Indonesia) have seen an unprecedented economic expansion because, the eastern economies were the producers and the western economies were the consumer and the same trend would likely to continue as the companies, nowadays, are more conscious about the cost.
As the economic pace is picking up, global commodity prices have staged a comeback from lows and global trade has also seen a decent growth over the last two years. Unprecedented Government intervention and exceptionally large interest rate cuts by the central bank in advanced and emerging economies have contributed a lot to pull the global economy up from the deepest recession since the World War II. Several Governments around the world launched the stimulus packages to prop up the economic growth, generate employment opportunities and the overall economic growth with the aim to reduce uncertainty in the Indian economy and increased confidence. In this VMW research, we’ll discuss about the overall economic prospect for the year 2010 and the how the Indian Economy emerge from the ongoing economic repairment.

Indian Economy Getting its Right Path

Indian policy makers pride themselves on the fact that the Indian economy was able to pull out of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) relatively unscathed, with real GDP growth rate falling to 6.7 per cent in 2008-09 as compared to the 9 per cent in 2007-08 and expected to rise above 7 per cent in 2009-10. At the onset of the GFC, many commentators had expected a collapse of growth, with some even predicting a return to the sluggish growth of the mid to late 1990s.

Thankfully,the Indian economy proved the predictors of doom wrong. A number of factors have been ascribed to explain this performance: high consumption in India, as compared with China, and lower exposure to the global economy, again as compared with China. High home consumption is desirable as it gives support to the domestic economy in the face of a collapse of international trade, as happened during the GFC. Additionally, lower exposure to international trade reduces the impact of external shocks. The existence of substantial controls on the banking sector is said to explain the fact that no Indian bank had to be ‘rescued’. In addition, credit also is sometimes given to ‘good policy design’ by the government.
