IMF Working Paper-Pressing the Indian Growth Accelerator: Policy Imperatives

March 11, 2015--Summary: India's real GDP growth slipped substantially after the North Atlantic financial crisis. Return to a sustained high growth trajectory is feasible but it will need much more focused attention to the revival of manufacturing and to the acceleration of investment in transport and infrastructure.

The immediate priority is to achieve the kind of fiscal quality and low inflation levels exhibited during 2003-08, with focused attention to increasing efficiency and compliance in tax revenue collection. Higher tax revenues can facilitate increases in public investment, which then crowd in private investment. The task ahead will be more difficult in view of the protracted slowdown in global growth and trade.

IMF-India: Selected Issues Paper

March 11, 2015--Summary: The background papers for the 2015 Article IV explore key issues affecting the Indian economy, and implications for fiscal, monetary, financial sector and other structural policies.

The first chapter examines how surges in global financial market volatility (including those triggered by uncertainties about monetary policy normalization in advanced economies and/or geopolitical tensions) spill over to emerging market economies (EMs) including India. The results suggest that a surge in global financial market volatility is transmitted very strongly to key macroeconomic and financial variables of EMs, and the extent of its pass- through increases with the depth of external balance-sheet linkages between advanced countries and EMs.
