Controversy the govt’s Subhani focus, not the economy n 2015, India was ecstatic over then IMF chief Christine Lagarde’s description of India as “a bright spot on a cloudy global horizon”. This remark was a rare validation of India’s prowess by none other than Ione of the Bretton Woods institutions that treated it with contempt in the past. It would have been great if India had managed to sustain the aura. But in less than five years, India fettered away the opportunity and ended up as a drag on the global economy. Following a series of missteps and a misplaced focus of the government, Indian economic growth has lost its momentum and is forecast to slow down by 1.3 percentage points in the current financial year. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has lowered India’s economic growth to 4.8 per cent from the earlier 6.1 per cent, citing more than expected decline in consumer demand, stress in the non-banking finance sector and low credit off-take. The IMF has also indicted the Indian economic slow- down for slowing down global economic growth by 50 basis points from 3.3 LETTERS per cent to 2.9 per cent. Though the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has been lowering India’s eco- DOGGONE IT nomic growth projection for every two months, the IMF’s statement is A crisis of healthcare accorded more seriousness by foreign investors than local warnings. But I was shocked to read none of ministers or officials of the Narendra Modi government have about the havoc caused reacted to the IMF forecast.
