INDIA

 

In 1998, the Hindu-nationalist party, the BJP was elected and formed a new Government. Soon after, however, both India and Pakistan conducted nuclear tests and tension in Kashmir grew. 1999 is not likely to be much calmer with regard to neighbouring Pakistan, but it is believed that the tensions will be more loud than physical in nature. India is growing at a healthy 5% pace and is expected to continue its level for the coming year. Inflation has been high however and was 16.3% for the year, as of the end of September, 1998. 1999 inflation is expected to be reduced to 9.3%, still high. Foreign reserves have grown by $2.1 billion to $26.5 billion as of November, in comparison to one year earlier. The trade deficit and current account balance remain in red.

 

Ranked among the ten most corrupt nations in the world, the parallel economy is conservatively estimated to be Rs.300,000 millions – roughly equal to the Gross Domestic Product.
