Indian economy grew 7.2 percent in the first current fiscal, Finance Ministry said in December. Economy continued to consolidate the gains, restoring macroeconomic stability despite the continuing global sluggishness.
Given the growth outlook and scope for further reform, India stands in a comfortable position with regards to external debt. Despite the economic liberalisation of the 1990s, the domestic economy has not fallen into an external debt trap.
