The Financial Sector
Require finance for investment anddevelopment.
Finance per se has little meaning unless it isfruitfully utilised to generate assets.
Are we frittering away our meagre finances onpopulist measures instead of on real growth?

The Countrys Finances
Tax revenue a mere 10 % of GDP as against 20-30 % in other countries.
External borrowings to the tune of $ 320b - huge interest on govt debt.
FDI turned negative ie more Indian companies have invested abroadthan foreign investments coming in capital generated in India is de factobeing utilised to give jobs elsewhere.
High volatility of FII.
Doles in the name of welfare.
Bank NPAs skyrocketed necessitating bailouts 35,000 cr per annum.Largeborrowers like Kingfisher have defaulted approx 47,000 cr and the bankshave not even bothered to pursue them.

The Nature of Our Economy As a nation progress the main focus of its
economys activity shifts from the primary,through the secondary and finally to the
tertiary sector agriculture/industry/services.
In developed countries like the U.S., more
than 80% of the population is in the tertiarysector and also contributes proportionately totheir economy.

The Nature of Our Economy
In India,
Agriculture contributes to 14 % of GDP butsupports 60 % of the population.
Services sector contributes to 60 % of GDP butsupports only 5 % of the population.
A great imbalance indeed.

Lack of Inclusiveness
77 % of our population (80 cr) lives merely onRs 20/- per day, and 10 % are just marginallyabove that.
