Over recent months, the credit crisis has transformed into a global economic downturn that varies in the nature and extent of its impact on economies around the world. The year ahead will test the resilience of India’s financial system and economy.
It is in this context of global uncertainty that the 24th India Economic Summit organised by Geneva based World Economic Forum will have as its principal theme, “Securing India's Future Growth”.
The event to be held from November 16-18, 2008 in New Delhi, India is designed to generate insight and to improve the alignment of India’s development and industry priorities and as such is organised on four thematic pillars: Global Shifts; Managing Risks; Inclusive Growth; and Future Competitiveness.
From a macroeconomic perspective, “securing India’s future growth” will depend on how well India’s institutions are able to draw on their fiscal and monetary toolkits to address challenges around liquidity, inflation and business confidence.
With regard to longer-term competitiveness, India faces the daunting challenge of addressing its perennial deficiencies in infrastructure, education, healthcare and productivity, particularly in agriculture and manufacturing.
The Summit will convene leaders from business, government and civil society with the intention of informing and stimulating thought and discussion on the country’s growth trajectory.
