New Delhi, January 08: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today expressed optimism that India would clock 9-10 per cent growth in a couple of years, reflecting the strong economic revival after slowing down due to global financial turmoil.
“We are equally optimistic of returning to sustained growth of 9-10 per cent in a couple of years,” Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said while inaugurating the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, a gathering of Indian diaspora, here.
After registering 9 per cent growth in 3 straight fiscals starting from 2005-06, the economic expansion declined to 6.7 per cent in the last fiscal due to the impact of severe global financial crisis. However, signs of revival started showing after the stilums given by the government to spur the economy.
