INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces
of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial
deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on
foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to
accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since
1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern
agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of
services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but
services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half
of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has
capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major
exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the
Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large
part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in
real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently
high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High
international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy
expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current
account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to
corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term
growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low
dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing
integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that
it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate
physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment
opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and
accommodating rural-to-urban migration.
