The Ministry of Economic Research of the National Bank of India believes that India has adopted a successful economic development strategy since 2014, and it is likely to surpass Japan to become the world's third largest economy in 2029. Former Chief Economic Consultant of the Indian Government, Abende Wilmani also supported this analysis conclusion. He said that by 2030, India will become the third largest economy in the United States and China.

Excitement

Many entrepreneurs, politicians, and media in India have rejoiced by India's GDP surpassing Britain. A large part of the reason is that the United Kingdom was once the prince of India. Ananda Ma Hengda, chairman of India's Ma Hengda Automobile Group, did not deny on social media: "Farewell! This news will be pleased with every Indian person who work hard."

The Indian People's Party officially issued an article on the 3rd that "the change of the Modi government has made India achieve the goal of a $ 5 trillion economy. Beyond the United Kingdom to become the fifth largest economy in the world, and India's economic growth is a glorious example! "Indian Finance Secretary Sitraman was inspiring this statistical data. She said that India is the fastest -growing economy in the world, and India's economic growth rate will remain in two digits, and India's possibility of falling into economic decline is zero. The Treasury Secretary's office also posted on social media as soon as possible, "Ten years ago, India ranked only 11th among the global economies, and now it has become the fifth of the United States, China, Japan, and Germany.

The total economic volume of India accounted for 25%of the world's total economy. As the Indian economy increased That status. "

Can India do it?

However, the leader of the Indian National Party, Shaji Taruul, believes that India should not be stunned by the "economic achievements" in front of him. He said, "The reason why I keep cautiously and optimistic about (statistical results) is because India is still a country with a large population base. We need to benefit more people from the economic dividends brought by GDP growth." It is said that the per capita GDP of India is still low, the growth rate of manufacturing has slowed down, and a large trade deficit has occurred. From these refined data, you can still see the hidden concerns of India's economic development. Economists have also expressed concerns about whether the continuous high growth can be achieved. The President of the Indian Prime Minister's Economic Consultant Board Berber De Broy said that although the growth rate of 7%-7.5%does not seem too high, historical data shows that maintaining such a growth rate for a long time is a difficult task. In the past 30 years, India has only increased by more than 7%for 5 consecutive years.

A review article published by the Peninsula TV station earlier believes that due to the relief of the Indian epidemic pressure, the performance of agriculture and manufacturing has performed well, and India's economy has grown rapidly, but there are still hidden concerns behind it. It is reported that due to the long -term slowdown of the Indian economy, the statistical base is low, it is not surprising that the growth rate has jumped sharply. Whether the subsequent growth can continue to continue this situation is to be observed.
