Indian economic crisis - Instituto de Empresa Business School
The Indian economy will be put under pressure in 2008 tax year (March 2008 - April 2090) as a consequence of the world economic crisis. Its growth rate of 9% of recent years will suffer from the negative impact of American deceleration. Indeed, the Asian Development Bank has anticipated that the growth of the GDP for the 2007 tax year (which ended in March 2008) will be 8.7%, almost one percentage point down on the figure for the previous year.
