Indian economy currently facing challenges, says Sitharaman
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman unveiled a book on global finance, and said it suggests solutions for challenges that the world and Indian economy is currently facing.
India's economic growth slumped to an over six-year low of 5% in the first quarter ended June this fiscal due to slower consumer demand and private investment amid deteriorating global environment.
As a textbook, I am sure it will become very popular and more importantly, this will be a book that is very relevant to those of us, sitting on the policy making table. Secondly, its relevance and the timing of the launch of the book in India. We are currently facing a challenging time," the minister said.
She said it has come at a time when questions are being asked about the nature of the slowdown, which is affecting the global economy and bogging it down and indeed questioning if India is actually in a slowdown.
