Secretary to the Department of Economic Affairs, Ajay Seth, on Wednesday asserted that the government doesn't see any significant downside risks on economic growth, despite a slight slowdown and an uptick in inflation.
The Indian economy grew 6.7 per cent in the April-June quarter, lower than RBI's 7.1 per cent forecast. GDP data for July-September quarter is due at 4 pm on November 29.
Seth, talking at the FICCI's curtain raiser ahead of the 97th AGM and Annual Convention, did accept that the economic growth in some segments has slowed down.
