Sub-national Fiscal Reforms and Debt Management - Indian Experience
It gives me great pleasure to be here amongst you and address the World Bank Sub-national Fiscal Reform and Debt Management Forum. There is more than one reason on my part to accept this invitation, but more importantly, to share with you the turnaround story at the sub-national level in India. The relevance of fiscal reforms and creation of fiscal space even at the sub-national level can hardly be over-emphasised in the context of the on-going slowdown the world over

Statement by Mr. Duvvuri Subbarao, Alternate Governor
Mr. Chairman, 1. The IMFC meets today in extraordinarily complex and challenging times. The financial crisis became full-blown in the second half of 2008, and has morphed through negative feedback to real activity, plunging the global economy into the deepest recession since World War II. What started off as a sub-prime crisis in the US housing mortgage sector has turned successively into a global banking crisis, global financial crisis and now a global economic crisi

India - Managing the Impact of the Global Financial Crisis
Introduction 1. Less than a year ago, much of what has happened in the Indian economy since last October would have been hard to anticipate. I recall, around this time last year, the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) were, what are the factors that put India on a high growth trajectory and what can we do to remain there? Today, the FAQ is, when and how do we get back on to the high growth trajectory? The sharp turn around in the FAQs summarizes in a nutshell the

Impact of the Global Financial Crisis on India Collateral Damage and Response
Global outlook 1. The global economic outlook deteriorated sharply over the last quarter. In a sign of the ferocity of the down turn, the IMF made a marked downward revision of its estimate for global growth in 2009 in purchasing power parity terms – from its forecast of 3.0 per cent made in October 2008 to 0.5 per cent in January 2009. In market exchange rate terms, the downturn is sharper – global GDP is projected to actually shrink by 0.6 per cent. With all the adv
