Pakistan’s GDP seen growing by 4.1pc in 2014

[Indischer]

And your point is?

That South Asian countries cannot really afford to be content with growth of just 5-6%. Just not enough, given our massive populations.

 

[Chak Bamu]

Anything 6% is not achievable under chronic load-shedding and deteriorating political situation.

I know, but it is shameful nonetheless for a country like Pakistan. Not blaming anyone for it.

The same report says: China, India, Indonesia and the Russian Federation are projected to grow at 7.5, 5.5, 5.4 and 0.3 per cent, respectively, in 2014, compared to 7.7, 4.7, 5.8 and 1.3 per cent, respectively, in 2013.

Another bad year of Asia

How is it a bad year for India when our economy will be growing more than last year?

Anything at or above 5% is good for the developing world. With each successive year, your are growing a 5% of a larger pool. So it's not bad at all, considering the realistic scenario. Pumping out 8-10% is easy only when you have nothing to begin with.

Not true. Its about regulatory environment and governance that boosts GDP.
India will be growing at over 7% again in 2016 and onwards and we do not have a small base.

I guess, it is because I would like India's growth to hover around 7%

India will hit 7% growth rate in 2016 as per almost every international rating agency.

That's true. For the massive social development needed a much higher growth rate is required.

You're saying 'will be growing', only time will tell, so let's not argue over something that is not factual as of yet.

[Psycho Pakistani]

All the fasadis doing long marches (IK) and inqilabs (TUQ) are the ones responsible for bringing all the businesses to a halt and causing stock exchange to crash, yet these same fasadis (IK+TUQ) have the audacity to whine about low growth rate of pakistani economy. Shame on all the fasadis like IK and TUQ for destroying the economic activity in pakistan.

According to The Economist, Pakistan is at 5.4% growth for 2014.

Considering the political and security situation, that's actually excellent. Imagine the potential.
