Indian economy: An Overview
• 12th in terms of GDP at market exchange rates ($1.3 trillion) and 4th in
terms of GDP at purchasing power parity exchange rates ($3.8 trillion) in
2009
• 2.3% of global GDP at market exchange rates and 5.2% of global GDP at
purchasing power parity exchange rates
• Relatively a closed economy till 1991 and opened up after the external
payments crisis of 1991
• Per capita GDP rose 3 times from $374 in 1990 to $1134 in 2009

Global Crisis

Recovery from Global Crisis
•Slowdown buffered and recovery powered by large fiscal stimulus (5.5% of GDP)
supported by massive monetary easing (9.5% of GDP)

Crisis Growth Trajectory?

Potential Growth Rate of Indian
Economy
•Potential growth rate: the maximum sustainable rate at which an economy can grow
without raising the rate of inflation
•India’s potential growth rate rose from about 5.5% in late1990s to above 8.5% in mid-2000s
•Growth potential has fallen after crisis to about 7.5% and below
•Current growth rate above potential and has triggered inflationary pressures

consumer demand

Declining Agricultural Potential

•”Inflationary surge” in 2008-09 and 2008-10 due to agricultural supply shocks, the
gradually rising inflation from 2006 due to falling agricultural potential growth rate

•Substantial real appreciation of the rupee from both nominal appreciation and high
inflation (more in terms of consumer price index than wholesale price index)
•Huge inflow of portfolio capital putting upward pressure on rupee despite rising current
account deficits

Risks to Growth
• Inflation and rising current account deficits
– Structural and not cyclical
