The International Monetary Fund’s (IMF’s) Executive Director Krishnamurthy V Subramanian has said that India could potentially grow into an US $55 trillion economy by 2047.
Subramanian said this during the launch of his book India @ 100, at the Indian School of Business (ISB), in Hyderabad recently. The senior IMF official acknowledged that the goal of reaching an US $55 trillion economy by 2047 might seem ambitious, but it was achievable.
He spoke about the huge progress being made in financial inclusion through initiatives such as the Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana.
Using Japan as a benchmark, Subramanian highlighted that its economy expanded from US $215 billion in 1970 to US $5.1 trillion in 1995, nearly a 25-fold vault over 25 years.
During this period, the GDP per capita climbed up steeply from US $2,100 to US $44,000.
The IMF official strongly emphasised the importance of wisely using government borrowings and said that investments should focus on creating assets rather than merely funding subsidies or operational expenses.
