INDIAN Economy vs. US Economy
The Economy of India is the ninth largest in the world by nominal GDP and
the third largestbypurchasing power parity (PPP). The country is one of
the G-20 major economies and a member ofBRICS. In 2011, the
country's GDP PPP per capita was $3,703 IMF, 127th in the world, thus making
a lower-middle income economy.
After the independence-era Indian economy (before and a little after 1947)
was inspired by theSoviet model of economic development, with a large
public sector, high import duties combined with interventionist policies,
leading to massive inefficiencies and widespread corruption. However, later
on India adopted free market principles and liberalized its economy to
international trade under the guidance ofManmohan Singh, who then was
the Finance Minister of India under the leadership ofP.V.Narasimha Rao the
then Prime Minister. Following these strong economic reforms, the country's
economic growth progressed at a rapid pace with very high rates of growth
and large increases in the incomes of people.
India recorded the highest growth rates in the mid-2000s, and is one of the
fastest-growing economies in the world. The growth was led primarily due to
a huge increase in the size of the middle class consumer, a large labor
force and considerable foreign investments. India is thenineteenth largestexporter and tenth largest importer in the world. Economic growth rates are
projected at around 7% for the 2011-12 fiscal year.
Overview
A combination ofprotectionist, import-substitution, and Fabian socialist-
inspired policies governed India for sometime after India's Independence
from the British. The economy was then characterised by extensive
regulation, protectionism, public ownership, pervasive corruption and slowgrowth.Since 1991, continuing economic liberalisation has moved the
country towards a market-based economy. By 2008, India had established
itself as one of the world's fastest growing economies. Growth significantly
slowed to 6.79% in 200809, but subsequently recovered to 7.4% in 200910,
while the fiscal deficit rose from 5.9% to a high 6.5% during the same period.
Indias current account deficit surged to 4.1% of GDP during Q2 FY11 against
3.2% the previous quarter. The unemployment rate for 2010-11, according to
the state Labour Bureau, was 9.8% nationwide. As of 2011, India's public
debt stood at 62.43% of GDP which is highest among the emergingeconomies.

India's large service industry accounts for 57.2% of the country's GDP while
the industrial and agricultural sectors contribute 28.6% and 14.6%
respectively. Agriculture is the predominant occupation in Rural India,
accounting for about 52% of employment. The service sector makes up a
further 34%, and industrial sector around 14%.[17]
However, statistics from a200910 government survey, which used a smaller sample size than earlier
surveys, suggested that the share of agriculture in employment had dropped
to 45.5%
Major industries include telecommunications, textiles, chemicals, food
processing, steel, transportation equipment, cement, mining, petroleum,
machinery, software and pharmaceuticals. The labour force totals 500
million workers. Major agricultural products include rice, wheat, oilseed,
cotton, jute, tea, sugarcane, potatoes, cattle, water buffalo, sheep, goats,
poultry and fish. In 20092010, India's top five trading partners are UnitedArab Emirates, China, United States, Saudi Arabia and Germany.
Previously a closed economy, India's trade and business sector has grown
fast.[13]India currently accounts for 1.5% of world trade as of 2007 according
to the World Trade Statistics of the WTO in 2006, which valued India's total
merchandise trade (counting exports and imports) at $294 billion and India's
services trade at $143 billion. Thus, India's global economic engagement in
2006 covering both merchandise and services trade was of the order of
$437 billion, up by a record 72% from a level of $253 billion in 2004. India's
total trade in goods and services has reached a share of 43% of GDP in 2005 06, up from 16% in 199091. India's total merchandisee trade (counting
exports and imports) stands at $ 606.7 billion and is currently the 9th
largest in the world.
Sectors
Industry and servicesIndustry accounts for 28% of the GDP and employ 14% of the total
workforce. In absolute terms, India is 12thin the world in terms of nominal
factory output. The Indian industrial sector underwent significant changes
as a result of the economic reforms of 1991, which removed import
restrictions, brought in foreign competition, led to privatisation of certain
public sector industries, liberalised the FDI regime, improved infrastructure
and led to an expansion in the production offast moving consumer goods.
Post-liberalisation, the Indian private sector was faced with increasing
domestic as well as foreign competition, including the threat of cheaper

Chinese imports. It has since handled the change by squeezing costs,
revamping management, and relying on cheap labour and new technology.
However, this has also reduced employment generation even by smaller
manufacturers who earlier relied on relatively labour-intensive processes.
Textile manufacturing is the second largest source of employment afteragriculture and accounts for 20% of manufacturing output, providing
employment to over 20 million people. As stated in late January, by the then
Minister of Textiles, India, Shri Shankersinh Vaghela, the transformation of
the textile industry from a degrading to rapidly developing industry, has
become the biggest achievement of the central government. After freeing the
industry in 20042005 from a number of limitations, primarily financial, the
government gave the green light to the flow of massive investment both
domestic and foreign. During the period from 2004 to 2008, total investment
amounted to 27 billion dollars. By 2012, still convinced of the government,this figure will reach 38 billion as expected; these investments in 2012 will
create an additional sector of more than 17 million jobs. But demand for
Indian textiles in world markets continues to fall. According to Union
Minister for Commerce and Industries Kamal Nath, only during 20082009
fiscal year (which ends 31 March) textile and clothing industry will be forced
to cut about 800 thousand new jobs nearly half of the rate of two million,
which will have to go all the export-oriented sectors of Indian economy to
soften the impact of the global crisis. Ludhiana produces 90% of woollens in
India and is known as the Manchester of India. Tirupur has gained universalrecognition as the leading source of hosiery, knitted garments, casual wear
and sportswear.
India is 13th in services output. The services sector provides employment to
23% of the work force and is growing quickly, with a growth rate of 7.5% in
19912000, up from 4.5% in 195180. It has the largest share in the GDP,
accounting for 55% in 2007, up from 15% in 1950. Information technology
and business process outsourcing are among the fastest growing sectors,
having a cumulative growth rate of revenue 33.6% between 199798 and
200203 and contributing to 25% of the country's total exports in 200708.The growth in the IT sector is attributed to increased specialisation, and an
availability of a large pool of low cost, highly skilled, educated and fluent
English-speaking workers, on the supply side, matched on the demand side
by increased demand from foreign consumers interested in India's service
exports, or those looking to outsource their operations. The share of
the Indian IT industry in the country's GDP increased from 4.8 % in 200506
to 7% in 2008.[70]In 2009, seven Indian firms were listed among the top 15
technology outsourcing companies in the world.

Mining forms an important segment of the Indian economy, with the country
producing 79 different minerals (excluding fuel and atomic resources) in
200910, including iron
ore, manganese, mica, bauxite, chromite, limestone, asbestos, fluorite, gypsu
m, ochre, phosphorite and silica sand.[72]
Organised retail supermarketsaccounts for 24% of the market as of 2008.[73]Regulations prevent most
foreign investment in retailing. Moreover, over thirty regulations such as
"signboard licences" and "anti-hoarding measures" may have to be complied
before a store can open doors. There are taxes for moving goods from state
to state, and even within states. Tourism in India is relatively undeveloped,
but growing at double digits. Some hospitals woo medical tourism.
Agriculture
India ranks second worldwide in farm output. Agriculture and allied sectors
like forestry, logging and fishing accounted for 15.7% of the GDP in 200910,
employed 52.1% of the total workforce, and despite a steady decline of its
share in the GDP, is still the largest economic sector and a significant piece
of the overall socio-economic development of India. Yields per unit area of
all crops have grown since 1950, due to the special emphasis placed on
agriculture in the five-year plans and steady improvements in irrigation,
technology, application of modern agricultural practices and provision of
agricultural credit and subsidies since the Green Revolution in India.
However, international comparisons reveal the average yield in India is
generally 30% to 50% of the highest average yield in the world.[76]Indian
states Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra
Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal and Maharashtra are key agricultural
contributing states of India.
India receives an average annual rainfall of 1,208 millimetres (47.6 in) and a
total annual precipitation of 4000 billion cubic metres, with the total
utilisable water resources, including surface and groundwater, amounting to
1123 billion cubic metres. 546,820 square kilometres (211,130 sq mi) of the
land area, or about 39% of the total cultivated area, is irrigated.
[78]
India'sinland water resources including rivers, canals, ponds and lakes and marine
resources comprising the east and west coasts of the Indian ocean and other
gulfs and bays provide employment to nearly six million people in the
fisheries sector. In 2008, India had the world's third largest fishing industry.
India is the largest producer in the world of milk, jute and pulses, and also
has the world's second largest cattle population with 175 million animals in
2008. It is the second largest producer of rice, wheat, sugarcane, cotton
and groundnuts, as well as the second largest fruit and vegetable producer,
accounting for 10.9% and 8.6% of the world fruit and vegetable production

respectively. India is also the second largest producer and the largest
consumer of silk in the world, producing 77,000 million tons in 2005.[81]
Banking and finance
The Indian money market is classified into the organised sector, comprisingprivate, public and foreign owned commercial banks and cooperativebanks,
together known as scheduled banks, and the unorganised sector, which
includes individual or family owned indigenous bankers or money
lenders andnon-banking financial companies. The unorganised sector
and microcredit are still preferred over traditional banks in rural and sub-
urban areas, especially for non-productive purposes, like ceremonies and
short duration loans.
Prime Minister Indira Gandhi nationalised 14 banks in 1969, followed by six
others in 1980, and made it mandatory for banks to provide 40% of their netcredit to priority sectors like agriculture, small-scale industry, retail trade,
small businesses, etc. to ensure that the banks fulfill their social and
developmental goals. Since then, the number of bank branches has increased
from 8,260 in 1969 to 72,170 in 2007 and the population covered by a
branch decreased from 63,800 to 15,000 during the same period. The
total bank deposits increased from 5,910 crore (US$1.18 billion) in 197071
to 3,830,922 crore (US$764.27 billion) in 200809. Despite an increase of
rural branches, from 1,860 or 22% of the total number of branches in 1969
to 30,590 or 42% in 2007, only 32,270 out of 500,000 villages are covered bya scheduled bank.
India's gross domestic saving in 200607 as a percentage of GDP stood at a
high 32.7%.More than half of personal savings are invested in physical assets
such as land, houses, cattle, and gold. The public sector banks hold over 75%
of total assets of the banking industry, with the private and foreign banks
holding 18.2% and 6.5% respectively. Since liberalisation, the government has
approved significant banking reforms. While some of these relate to
nationalised banks, like encouraging mergers, reducing government
interference and increasing profitability and competitiveness, other reformshave opened up the banking and insurance sectors to private and foreign
players.
Energy and power
As of 2009, India is the fourth largest producer of electricity and oil
products and the fourth largest importer of coal and crude-oil in the world.
Coal and oil together account for 66 % of the energy consumption of India.
India's oil reserves meet 25% of the country's domestic oil demand. As of
2009, India's total proven oil reserves stood at 775 million metric tonnes

while gas reserves stood at 1074 billion cubic metres. Oil and natural gas
fields are located offshore at Mumbai High, Krishna Godavari Basin and
the Cauvery Delta, and onshore mainly in the states ofAssam, Gujarat
and Rajasthan.[94]India is the fourth largest consumer of oil in the world and
imported $82.1 billion worth of oil in the first three quarters of 2010, whichhad an adverse effect on its current account deficit.[90]The petroleum
industry in India mostly consists of public sector companies such as Oil and
Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation
Limited (HPCL) and Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL). There are some
major private Indian companies in the oil sector such as Reliance Industries
Limited (RIL) which operates the world's largest oil refining complex.
As of December 2011, India had an installed power generation capacity of
185.5 Giga Watts(GW), of whichthermal power contributed
65.87%, hydroelectricity 20.75%, other sources ofrenewable energy 10.80%,andnuclear power 2.56%.. India meets most of its domestic energy demand
through its 106 billion tonnes of coal reserves.[97]India is also rich in certain
renewable sources of energy with significant future potential such
as solar, wind and biofuels (jatropha, sugarcane). India's
huge thorium reserves about 25% of world's reserves are expected to fuel
the country's ambitious nuclear energy program in the long-run. India's
dwindling uranium reserves stagnated the growth of nuclear energy in the
country for many years. However, the Indo-US nuclear deal has paved the
way for India to import uranium from other countries.
Infrastructure
India has the world's third largest road network, covering more than
4.3 million kilometers and carrying 60% of freight and 87% of passenger
traffic. Indian Railways is the fourth largest rail network in the world, with a
track length of 114,500 kilometers.India has 13 major ports, handling a
cargo volume of 850 million tonnes in 2010. India has a national teledensity
rate of 74.15% with 926.53 million telephone subscribers, two-thirds of them
in urban areas, but Internet use is rare, with around 13.3 million broadbandlines in India in December 2011. However, this is growing and is expected to
boom following the expansion of3G and wimax services.
Global trade relations
Until the liberalisation of 1991, India was largely and intentionally isolated
from the world markets, to protect its economy and to achieve self-reliance.
Foreign trade was subject to import tariffs, export taxes and quantitative
restrictions, while foreign direct investment (FDI) was restricted by upper-

nearly 60% of new FDI in the industrial sector. The restrictions ensured that
FDI averaged only around $200 million annually between 1985 and 1991; a
large percentage of the capital flows consisted of foreign aid, commercial
borrowing and deposits ofnon-resident Indians. india's exports were
stagnant for the first 15 years after independence, due to general neglect oftrade policy by the government of that period. Imports in the same period,
due to industrialisation being nascent, consisted predominantly of
machinery, raw materials and consumer goods. Since liberalisation, the value
of India's international trade has increased sharply, with the contribution of
total trade in goods and services to the GDP rising from 16% in 199091 to
47% in 200810. India accounts for 1.44% of exports and 2.12% of imports
for merchandise trade and 3.34% of exports and 3.31% of imports for
commercial services trade worldwide. India's major trading partners are
the European Union, China, the United States of America and the UnitedArab Emirates.[110]In 200607, major export commodities included
engineering goods, petroleum products, chemicals and pharmaceuticals,
gems and jewellery, textiles and garments, agricultural products, iron ore
and other minerals. Major import commodities included crude oil and
related products, machinery, electronic goods, gold and silver.[111]In
November 2010, exports increased 22.3% year-on-year to
85,063 crore (US$16.97 billion), while imports were up 7.5% at
125,133 crore (US$24.96 billion). Trade deficit for the same month dropped
from 46,865 crore (US$9.35 billion) in 2009 to 40,070 crore (US$7.99
billion) in 2010.
India is a founding-member ofGeneral Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade (GATT) since 1947 and its successor, the WTO. While participating
actively in its general council meetings, India has been crucial in voicing the
concerns of the developing world. For instance, India has continued its
opposition to the inclusion of such matters as labour and environment
issues and other non-tariff barriers to trade into the WTO policies.
Economy of USThe economy of the United States is the world's largest national economy.
Its nominal GDP was estimated to be over $15 trillion in 2011,[
approximately a quarter ofnominal global GDP. TheEuropean Union has a
larger collective economy, but is not a single nation. Its GDP at purchasing
power parity is the largest in the world, approximately a fifth ofglobal GDP
at purchasing power parity.[2]The U.S. economy also maintains a very high
level ofoutput. In 2011, it was estimated to have a per capita GDP (PPP) of
$48,147, the 7th highest in the world, thus making U.S. one of the world's

wealthiest nations The U.S. is the largest trading nation in the world. Its
three largest trading partners as of 2010 are Canada, China and Mexico.
The economy of the United States is a mixed economy. and has maintained a
stable overall GDP growth rate, a moderate unemployment rate, and high
levels of research and capital investment. It has been the world's largestnational economy (not including colonial empires) since at least the 1890s.
Most of the economy is classified as services. As of 2012, the country
remains the world's largest manufacturer, representing a fifth of the global
manufacturing output. Of the world's 500 largest companies, 133 are
headquartered in the United States. This is twice the total of any other
country.
About 60% of the global currency reserves have been invested in the United
States dollar, while 24% have been invested in the euro. The country is one of
the world's largest and most influential financial markets. Foreign
investments made in the United States total almost $2.4 trillion, which is
more than twice that of any other country. American investments in foreign
countries total over $3.3 trillion, which is almost twice that of any other
country] Total public and private debt was $50.2 trillion at the end of the
first quarter of 2010, or 3.5 times GDP. The proportion ofpublic debt was
about 0.9 times the GDP. Domestic financial assets totaled $131 trillion and
domestic financial liabilities totaled $106 trillion. As of 2010, the European
Union as a whole was the largest trading partner of the U.S.,
whereas Canada, China, and Mexico were the largest individual tradingnations.
The labor market in the United States has attracted immigrants from all over
the world and its net migration rate is among the highest in the world. The
United States is one of the top-performing economies in studies such as
the Ease of Doing Business Index, the Global Competitiveness Report and
others.
History
The economic history of the United States has its roots in European
settlements in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. The American colonies
went from marginally successful colonial economies to a small, independent
farming economy, which in 1776 became the United States of America. In
180 years the United States grew to a huge, integrated, industrialized
economy that still makes up over a quarter of the world economy.The main
causes were a large unified market, a supportive political-legal system, vast
areas of highly productive farmlands, vast natural resources (especially
timber, coal and oil), a cultural landscape that valued entrepreneurship, a
commitment to investing in material and human capital, and at times a

willingness to exploit labor. In addition, the U.S. was able to utilize these
resources due to a unique set of institutions designed to encourage
utilization and extraction. As a result, the U.S.'s GDP per capita converged on
and eventually surpassed that of the U.K., as well as other nations that it
previously trailed economically. The economy has maintained high wages,attracting immigrants by the millions from all over the world.
In the 19th century, recessions frequently coincided with financial crises.
The Panic of 1837 was followed by a five-year depression, with the failure of
banks and then-record-high unemployment levels. Because of the great
changes in the economy over the centuries, it is difficult to compare the
severity of modern recessions to early recessions. Recessions after World
War II appear to have been less severe than earlier recessions, but the
reasons for this are unclear. The Depression of 1893 was one of the worst in
American history, with the unemployment rate exceeding 10% for half a
decade.
World's largest economy
The United States has been the world's largest national economy since at
least the 1890s.
For many years following the Great Depression of the 1930s, when danger
ofrecession appeared most serious, the government sought to strengthenthe economy by spending heavily itself or cutting taxes so that consumers
would spend more, and by fostering rapid growth in the money supply,
which also encouraged more spending. Ideas about the best tools for
stabilizing the economy changed substantially between the 1930s and the
1980s. From the New Deal era that began in 1933, to theGreat
Society initiatives of the 1960s, national policy makers relied principally
on fiscal policy to influence the economy. The approach, advanced by British
economist John Maynard Keynes, gave elected officials a leading role in
directing the economy, since spending and taxes are controlled by theU.S.President and the Congress. The "Baby Boom" saw a dramatic increase in
fertility in the period 19421957; it was caused by delayed marriages and
childbearing during depression years, a surge in prosperity, a demand for
suburban single-family homes (as opposed to inner city apartments) and new
optimism about the future. The boom crested about 1957, then slowly
declined. A period of high inflation, interest rates and unemployment after
1973 weakened confidence in fiscal policy as a tool for regulating the overall
pace of economic activity.
The U.S. economy grew by an average of 3.8% from 1946 to 1973, while realmedian household income surged 74% (or 2.1% a year). The economy since

1973, however, has been characterized by both slower growth (averaging
2.7%), and nearly stagnant living standards, with household incomes
increasing by 10%, or only 0.3% annually.]The worst recession in recent
decades, in terms of lost output, occurred during the 2008 financial crisis,
when GDP fell by 5.0% from the spring of 2008 to the spring of 2009. Othersignificant recessions took place in 195758, when GDP fell 3.7%, following
the 1973 oil crisis, with a 3.1% fall from late 1973 to early 1975, and in the
198182 recession, when GDP dropped by 2.9%.[33][34]Recent, mild recessions
have included the 199091 downturn, when output fell by 1.3%, and the
2001 recession, in which GDP slid by 0.3%; the 2001 downturn lasted just
eight months. The most vigorous, sustained periods of growth, on the other
hand, took place from early 1961 to mid 1969, with an expansion of 53%
(5.1% a year), from mid 1991 to late in 2000, at 43% (3.8% a year), and from
late 1982 to mid 1990, at 37% (4% a year).In the 1970s and 1980s, it was popular in the U.S. to believe that Japan's
economy would outgrow the United States, but the predictions failed.
Emerging countries catch up with the U.S.
Since the 1970s emerging countries have caught up with rich countries.
These countries are learning to produce the same products and services that
previously only the U.S. and a few other countries could produce. Real
income growth in North America, Europe and Japan has been slower than
previously.Since 1976, the US has sustained trade deficits with other nations, and since
1982, current account deficits; the nation's long-standing surplus in its trade
in services was maintained, however, and reached US$140 billion yearly in
2008 and 2009. In recent years, the primary economic concerns have
centered on: high household debt ($11 trillion, including $2.5 trillion
in revolving debt), high net national debt ($9 trillion), high corporate debt
($9 trillion), high mortgage debt (over $15 trillion as of 2005 year-end), high
unfunded Medicare liability ($30 trillion high unfunded Social Security
liability ($12 trillion), high external debt (amount owed to foreign lenders),hightrade deficits, a serious deterioration in the United States net
international investment position (NIIP) (24% of GDP), and high
unemployment. In 2006, the U.S economy had its lowest saving rate since
1933. These issues have raised concerns among economists and national
politicians.
