Financing the growth of India: The roadmap for the next decade

National Finance Conclave

KIIT School of Management Presents

India is at the cusp of a new era. The change of baton at the center last year has made the world go bullish about us. With the recession hitting the west and the slowdown of the Chinese economy, India is fast emerging as the new ray of hope. Hence, this is the time for the country to rise up to the occasion and benefit from the vast sea of opportunities that lie ahead. Decisions taken now, would decide India's future: a rising super-power or just another middle income country on the globe.

The call of the hour is to create job opportunities for the youth in order to reap the benefits of the demographic dividend and to push the quarter of the population lying at the bottom of the pyramid above the poverty line. This would be possible, only if, India experi-ences sustained growth over the next decade, which requires the government not only to continue along the path of reforms, but also to look at tough measures. Are we ready for it? Can India swallow the bitter pills of curbing populist measures?

To sustain 8% growth rate over the next decade, a quantum leap in investments across sectors is required. This opens up a can of questions yet to be answered. Who will finance these investments? Can the country's Banking sector support the next phase of growth? The problematic balance sheets of Indian banks do not instil much confidence. So, does the Government need to do more to re-start the credit cycle? What are the lucrative sectors for investment? Would the next phase of growth be driven through public investment or private investment? Who will finance India's growth over the next decade?

Introduction:
