That’s true. Those in the know can see that they are probably supplying the IMF with flawed data, but those that actually have to put their necks out and give real numbers are saying... no more than
5%, and economic recovery will be slow and painful at that. He’s a spokesman for Congress, so as the party of the economist prime minister Manmohan Singh, it’s probably a more accurate assessment.
The average Indians should be demanding the the IMF share with them the data the government has given them to generate such a rosy picture. Ihonestly think the current Indian government purposely made up the numbers so their economy looks like it has recovered fully (down 10.3% last year and up 11.5% this year to break even), perception management BJP style.
