    Rakesh Mohan: State of the Indian Economy

    Rakesh Mohan: State of the Indian economy Inaugural address by Dr Rakesh Mohan, Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, at the 2nd Annual Indian Securities Infrastructure & Operations Forum 2006, Mumbai, 7 November 2006. * * * It is my great pleasure to be here at the 2nd Annual Indian Securities Infrastructure & Operations Forum 2006. The recent growth momentum of the Indian economy is leading to renewed interest in India’s growth prospects. As the mid-year review of the annual policy is just over I thought instead of giving just a run-down of the current state of the Indian economy let me put the current trends into a broader perspective - both with respect to the longer term trend and as well as the global scenario. Thus, I will proceed as follows: • In order to draw appropriate perspectives for the future of the Indian economy, I will first present an overview of India’s economic progress over the past three decades. • Given the growing integration of the Indian economy with the rest of the world, I will then discuss the prospects of the global economy. • This will be followed by an assessment of the current economic situation in India. • Finally, I will discuss some of the issues necessary to accelerate the current growth momentum. I. Overview of longer-term trends Growth, savings and investment Following the initiation of structural reforms in the early 1990s, the Indian economy has grown at an annual average rate of over 6 per cent per annum. While the 1980s had also witnessed high growth (5.8 per cent per annum), this growth was associated with widening macroeconomic imbalances – growing fiscal deficits, growing current account deficits, falling international reserves and higher inflation – culminating in the balance of payments crisis of 1990-91.

  • Raghuram Rajan

    Raghuram Rajan

    EXECUTIVE BRIEFINGS POLITICS AND ECONOMY: RAGHURAM RAJAN Adit Jain, IMA India June 2016 A fine innings India’s economy is precariously perched. Its current account deficit has crossed 5% of GDP. Fiscal imprudence over successive years has led to high deficits, which in turn have created sticky retail inflation in the 10-12% range. Foreign exchange reserves are down to USD 280 billion and both industrial output and investment have shrunk. Adding to the misery has been a rude shock dealt by the United States Federal Reserve through an announcement that it proposes to taper its bond buying programme. The ensuing taper tantrum is leading investors to dump emerging market assets fearing the end of cheap money. Consequently, the Rupee has come under a bear hammering shedding around a quarter of its value. Liquidity is tight and analysts are worried about external solvency and a balance of payments crisis. Adding to all of this is a threat, most serious, of a sovereign downgrade by rating agencies. All this happened in the autumn of 2013 when an academic from the University of Chicago was brought in to assume charge as Governor of India’s Reserve Bank. In a few months from now, Raghuram Rajan will complete his three-year term in office. The disquiet within the markets is whether he will get a second term. As this note will argue, he richly deserves it. It is within the bounds of tradition that central bank Governors in India are given extensions and usually serve for two terms. Very few have not done so.

    Dr. Isher Judge Ahluwalia on HER

    Remembering Dr. Isher Judge Ahluwalia ON HER BIRTH ANNIVERSARY Isher Judge Ahluwalia was inspired by issues of urbanisation and governance Rajat Kathuria | Indian Express | September 29, 2020 For a scholar of her stature and with all the exceptional achievements to boot, she could well have rested on her laurels. There was nothing left to prove. But that was not Isher. Isher last public appearance on ICRIER's platform was in February this year at the launch of Montek Singh Ahluwalia’s memoir, Backstage. When the phone rang to inform me of the passing away of Isher Judge Ahluwalia, former chairperson of ICRIER and my former boss, the world stopped, if only for an instant, as if someone had pressed a pause button. The poignancy of the moment was accompanied by a flashback of memories of a smiling Isher with perfectly groomed salt and pepper hair, announcing with grace, dignity, poise, charm and brilliance, the start of another conference at ICRIER. Her public persona was larger than life. Behind the exterior, there was also an Isher who was compassionate, supportive, loyal and who possessed almost a childlike desire to learn about issues that drew her interest. My close association with Isher began fittingly with a conference in April 2012. I was to take over as director and chief executive of ICRIER later that year. She decided to “induct” me at an ICRIER event in Vigyan Bhavan where the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was the chief guest. An updated edition of the festschrift, India’s Economic Reforms and Development: Essays for Manmohan Singh, co-edited by Isher was to be presented to him.
