Which will grow faster: India or Indonesia? (The Economist)



At this speed India will hit $1.2 trillion in services exports in next 6 to 7 years. India's Goods exports hitting $1 trillion mark by then would be easier due to higher base advantage.
India's GDP for FY 22 is revised upwards from 8.7% to 9.1%

This is high growth over a higher base previously estimated.

@Indos This growth is phenomenal. 8.7% revised to 9.1% and 7% consensus revised to 7.2%.
7% was just projections, not actual number. Next year this too will be revised upwards.

Service sector touching 1 trillion is bit too high, will hover around 800 at best. IT is not growing as fast as it used too. Growth will mostly come from BFSI and consulting, hopefully from tourism too!!


The government will make an allocation of approximately Rs 1 lakh crore towards it, it was announced.
Under this scheme, a godown of a capacity of 2000 tonnes will be constructed in every block.
The programme aims to raise India's foodgrain storage capacity by 700 lakh tonne in the cooperative sector. Currently, the grain storage capacity in the country is about 1,450 lakh tonnes.
In the next five years, the storage will expand to 2,150 lakh tonne. The storage capacity will be increased in the cooperative sector, the minister announced.

One of the best news, that got left behind GDP hullabaloo.

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesian Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati and her Indian counterpart Nirmala Sitharaman launched the Economic and Financial Dialogue (EFD) in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India, to strengthen bilateral cooperation.

"Indonesia and India continue to discuss, especially under the two countries' Ministry of Finance, about the effort to develop a strong dialogue on a policy level, starting from the highest level to the very technical level," Indrawati said in a statement issued on Monday.

Indonesia and India have many similarities and a long history, she observed.

For instance, trade relations between Indonesia and India, especially Gujarat, date back before the 13th century and started with agricultural products such as spices, clothes, and jewelry.

This economic history has been one of the foundations for strengthening their bilateral cooperation.

"We share with each other many things to meet the demand of each countries' domestic demand," the minister said.

Other efforts also encompass maintaining high economic growth performance, creating jobs, reducing poverty, and improving cooperation—not just within the bilateral framework, but also at the multilateral level.

Indonesia and India currently have a similar economic structure supported by the growth of the manufacturing sector and significant development of technologies and innovations.

The two countries are optimistic that they can grow strong and demonstrate good resilience in confronting challenges, both at the regional and global levels.

During their bilateral discussion, the two ministers discussed efforts to strengthen trade and investment cooperation and efforts to handle development issues together, including climate change and public health.

"We will continue to strengthen this bilateral relation, especially for the two institutions (Indonesian and Indian ministries of finance), during a policy dialogue that will discuss trade, investment problems, including human resources," Indrawati said.
