The growth rate of World economy during I >83 was around 1.9 percent. Wuh fur. her recovery in the economy, the World economy is estimated to have registered a growth rate of about 3.5 peroont in 1984. Reflecting the World economic recovery, the volume of World tr ide has shown significant improve ment in 1984. With the increase in imports by industrialised countries following tiie'r economic expulsion, the non-oil developing countries have been able to improve their current balance of payments position to some extent by continuing import restraints and increasing their exports. Extension or intensification of trade restrictions and protectionist policies followed by industrialised countries is creating more barriers to free trade. The developing countries would, therefore, need to be more vigilant in dealing with the problems of their external trade. 1.2 On account of the favourable monsoon and good performance of the agriculure sector, the' National eco nomy registered a significant growth of 7.4 percent (Quick estimates) in I983-S4 against a growth rate of only 1.7 percent in 1982-83. The high growth rate in 1983-84 could be mainly ascribed to very goo.l monsoon of 1983-84 after unfavourable monsoon in 1982-83, resulting in the significant increase of agricultural production. During 1984-85 the National economy is anticipated to register a growth rate of arou id 4.0 psrccnt. Thi National economy depending largely on agriculture cannot be expected to achieve a similar high growth rate as experinced in the preceding year which recorded significantly high agricultural production. 1.3 During 1984-85, the onset of South West monsoon was generally in time in most parts of the Country. However, precipitation was uneven and erratic in many areas and parts of West Bengal, Bihar and Orissa were affected by excessive rain during the last week of June, 1984. In Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, the monsoon was crratic and insufficient till July. However widespread rain in the second hilf of August made up the deficiency to a considerable extent and brought relief to cotton and standing paddy crops. On the whole, the weather conditions in 1984-85 were not satisfactory. However, the prospects of kharif crops were not much affected because of irrigation facilities available in the Country. The arrival of rain towards end of December, 1984 and early January. 1985 in many parts of the Country had a salutary effect on the standing rabi crops. Agricultural production in 1984-85 i * likely to show a modest increase over the record production achieved in 1983-84. The foodgrains production in 1984-85 is expected to be around the level of 151.5 million tonnes production achieved in the preceding year. 1.4 Industrial production had begun to recover in 1983-8 J from the setback in the previous year and the recovery gained strength in 1984-85.
