India’s steady recovery to face an election challenge (Bloomberg Intelligence) The Indian economy is returning to a slow and steady recovery. Although not evident in official year-on-year GDP data, our monthly GDP tracker adjusted for base effects shows that the recent pullback in oil prices and improving liquidity conditions are aiding growth. The new governor, Shaktikanta Das, has also turned supportive of growth, giving up his predecessor’s hawkish bias. That, along with a tailwind from structural reforms of the past few years, should support a gradual economic recovery. Still, national elections around May 2019 pose a short-term risk. Another term for Modi’s government would bode well for further reforms and market sentiment. A win for a united opposition led by the Congress and composed of smaller regional parties with different ideologies could hurt near term economic and financial stability. The latest Growth India’s Growth Slowdown Calls for Monetary Policy Support: The downtrend in India’s GDP growth during October-December was largely driven by an unreasonably tight monetary policy and fading favorable base effects, in our view. Monetary policy has already made a U-turn under new RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das and we expect the central bank’s policies to be supportive of growth ahead.

  • India Emerging As an Economic Superpower
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 20, Issue 5, Ver. IV (May. 2015), PP 45-50 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org India Emerging as an Economic Superpower Himani Assistant Professor In Economics D.A.V. College For Girls, Yamuna Nagar Abstract: With nearly 1.1 billion inhabitants, India is the second largest country on earth in population, and seventh largest in geographical area, over 1.1 million square miles. This is almost 1,000 people for every square mile of area nationwide—much denser than even China. Since achieving independence from British rule in 1947, it has seen its share of conflict, struggle and setbacks. Although India still faces many challenges, it is now poised to reach a higher position on the world scene than at any previous time. The Indian economy has grown an average of around 6% annually over the past decade and 8% per year over the past three years— among the fastest rates in the world. It boasts an emerging middle class and increasing gross domestic product, exports, employment and foreign investment. This is complemented by a roaring stock market (index value up by a third in 2005 and by 200% since 2001), low external debt and large foreign exchange reserves. Recent visits from leaders and officials from the United States, France, Germany and Russia have spotlighted India‟s rise. These wealthier nations see India as a trading partner with enormous potential. Now the question is „Will India Become a Superpower?‟ This paper is an attempt to show that “Whether India is really becoming an economic super power or is it a myth?” I.

Pour Fabien, Emilia et Yara, mes enfants voyageurs, Pour Ana, Qui, de New York, Göteborg, San Francisco et Mexico, m'ont accompagné au long de mes périples. PREFACE Lorsqu’il s’agit de l’avenir proche de l’homme sur Terre, du futur que connaîtront nos enfants - et tel est le sujet de cet essai - la littérature est évidemment spéculative et volontiers théorique. Francis Pisani évite ce double piège avec aisance, c’est ce qui rend son ouvrage assez fascinant. Comment fait-il ? Ces villes intelligentes dans lesquelles vivront un jour plusieurs milliards d’humains, il en a vu les premières, embryonnaires ou déjà formées, en Chine, en Inde, en Asie, en Amérique latine et en Europe. En journaliste, il a enquêté sur place, interrogé les acteurs comme les témoins, hiérarchisé ses informations et recoupé ses sources, qu’il ne manque pas de citer. En écrivain, il a rassemblé les pièces de son puzzle et en a fait apparaître l’intelligence. Le résultat est la description, en mots simples et dans une logique fluide, de ce que nous allons – devrions - faire pour gérer l’espace urbain dans lequel nous allons vivre.
