India is the Last BRIC standing

Of all the fast-growing BRIC countries, only India’s stands strong right now. Its economy seems perfectly structured to handle our delicate, and dangerous, global market.
A year and a half ago, emerging markets fell into chaos when the Federal Reserve signaled that the American economy had improved enough to end its asset-buying program, and investors began pulling out of foreign markets.
India was in a vulnerable place then — its current account deficit had been at 6.9% in late 2012, and outflows hit the economy hard. Plus, inflation was on the rise and growth was stagnating.
But today, while much of the world is in dark place economically — Brazil is embroiled in a corruption, scandal and sanctions continue to constrain Russia’s economy, China is slowing down, and unemployment persists in the EU — India stands out as a star performer: the one emerging market perfectly positioned for growth.

BBC News - Indian economic growth slows to 5.3%

India's economy grew by 5.3% in the July-to-September period from a year earlier, down from a rate of 5.7% in the previous quarter.


When Narendra Modi swept to power back in May he promised to revive the economy.

Since then leaders including David Cameron and Xi Jinping have led trade delegations to India.

Top chief executives like Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook and Microsoft's Satya Nadella have also visited.

Many international firms have announced investment plans and the Indian stock market has been soaring. All this excitement has been attributed to the 'Modi effect.'

But many had expected the government to unleash some big bang economic reforms by now, which hasn't happened.

^^^ which is actually a positive, over the average of analyst expectations in Reuters poll.

Analyst expectations: 5.1%
The above number was already factored in by the market.

The actual achieved being 5.3% is known as a "positive surprise" in market lingo.

Should wait for some time....
Modi is known for his development agenda...

And it will take Time to reflect those changes...
the next 2 years....expect the growth around 6 percent
 
india should be kicked out from brics. it has worst econimical fator among all member, in terms of total or per capital gdp, yet creating biggest noise. Those indian working style only hamper brics's cooperation.
I strongly believe that China is way above these small groups like BRICS.China should self promote itself to something even higher.With per capita income of 50000 dollars,china is surely the best !

This is what RBI has predicted it be around rather than the what economist have predicted its growth to be..
GDP growth likely to be below 5% in Q2: ICRA - TOI Mobile | The Times of India Mobile Site
this is what many have predicted
India's GDP growth to be subdued at 5.2 per cent in Q2: Dun and Bradstreet - Financial Express
and said a figure of 5.3% was too optmistic...but that is what they got..
Q2 GDP growth at 5.3% versus 5.2% YoY; slower than Q1 growth of 5.7% - The Economic Times on Mobile

Well, we're really there just to provide a vowel. Hard to make a word in English without a vowel :D

He's right though.

India has the smallest economy in the four BRIC countries.

And India's nominal GDP has actually been falling these past few years. (Granted, much of that was due to the collapse of the Rupee.)

Why would we even consider nominal GDP as the criteria ? In India with 1 dollar in your pocket,you can fill your stomach easily for a day.

Cooked up figures do not make China an economic power but a giant economy with many weaknesses !!

The Chinese Economy Is Facing A $6.8 Trillion Nightmare That Could Get Worse | Business Insider India

This the amount that is wasted in building ghost towns. Plus in the mean time they have added more than that amount to the total GDP. Double manipulations.

There is an article which is countering the claims, But the fact remains that lot of money is wasted on constructions and at the same time this amount is considered as GDP.

China econom is facing trouble and will be slow in the coming decade.

Yeah, imagine our growth rate fell to 5.3% of our $10.4 trillion economy. That would be terrible, but we would still be adding a whole India to our economy every few years. :lol:
