Acceleration and stability across sectors: Agriculture, Industry and Services
• Agricultural growth : has become more stable, no definite acceleration.• Services growth: has become more stable, fastest acceleration.• Industrial growth: too has become more stable, some acceleration

Growth has diversified too
Consumption, Investment, and Exports
• Acceleration in their contribution to growth over long run
• Share of consumption in GDP has declined, of investment and exports increased
Contribution of factor inputs and productivity growth
• A balanced narrative: TFP has increased slowly, as has the labor productivity (Bosworth, Collins and Virmani, 2007; Bosworth and Collins, 2008)

Growth faster than before in 2004-2008; and somewhat faster than in many other emerging markets.
Prominently reflected in investment and credit growth, coincided with rapid inflows of capital. Features of unsustainable boom (very rapid growth of investment, credit and infrastructure) ?
• External factors clearly contributed to it (Shankar Acharya; Mohan and Kapur); India specific features too—impact of economic reforms (Shankar Acharya; Arvind Panagariya)
• The policy response consisted of increased spending, monetary policy easing, tax rebates, regulatory forbearance in the banking sector, evergreening. Coincided with a pre election spending spree. 10
(ii) A distinct cycle in the Indian economy around the global financial crisis: High growth rates in 2003-08, and a slowdown thereafter

• Slowdown in India coincided with global financial crisis.
• Subsequent investment slowdown and credit slowdown sharper in India than in other large emerging markets—related to the extent of increase in prior years and the specific policy mix during 2008-09 and thereafter.

• Demonetization and implementation of GST had an impact on growth when it declined below 7 percent
• Growth temporarily decelerated to 5.6 percent in Q1, 2017-18; but rebounded to 6.3 percent in Q2, 2017-18; 7.0 in Q3, 2017-18, 7.7 percent in Q4, 2017-18, and 8.2 in Q1, 2018-19
• High frequency indicators such as trade, credit, investment, IIP, PMI, point to a continuing rebound in the economy

Summary
• India’s growth has been credible over the long run: accelerated, steadier, diversified, balanced.
• Growth averaged 7 percent in the last decade, as growth decelerated after the pre global financial crisis boom.
• A slowdown below that was seemingly transitory and now signs of revival.• Growth at higher levels would require a supportive global economy,
reversing declining trends in investment and exports; an efficient and resilient financial sector; and a continuing reform momentum.
