Chief economic adviser V Anantha Nageswaran on Tuesday said Indian economy will grow at over 7%, down from above 8% of growth rate projected in January. He, however, said the economic momentum and the animal spirits are “unmistakable”.

“India’s own growth rates have come off the projections made in January down to about 7-plus per cent for the current financial year,” he said at the Global Fintech Fest event here.

He said the world is still undergoing the aftereffects of Covid and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, suggesting that these factors are hurting growth. He said the government is moving from financial inclusion to financial empowerment and the focus in the decade to 2030 is on helping people access financial services like credit and insurance using the base of the accounts opened earlier.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
