New Delhi, Dec 23 (IANS) Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said Wednesday that India’s economy would grow at 9-10 percent in the coming two to three years.
“The target of growth of 9-10 percent has been there for a very long period. It is now within our reach and we shall achieve it,” Mukherjee told the 104th annual session of the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry here.
“In the next two to three years, we are targeting economic growth of 9 percent and the growth rate will be more inclusive and widespread. Our country remains one of the fastest growing economies in the world,” he added.
“Our agricultural growth should be at 4 percent so that there is a balanced growth.”
Referring to the mid-year fiscal review where the government has suggested growth of 7.75 percent in 2009-10, the finance minister said: “It would be better to say that it would be between 7.5-8 percent.”
