India is now the 7th most valued 'Nation Brand' | The Indian Economy Facts | Ep2

India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth slowed to 7.0% in the first quarter of financial year (FY) 2015 (ending 31 March 2016) from 7.5% in the last quarter of FY2014. The deceleration was broad-based, with private consumption, manufacturing, and services all experiencing slower growth. However, expansion in fixed investment picked up to 4.9% from 4.1% in the previous quarter, indicating a continuing gradual recovery in capital expenditure. Agriculture grew by 1.9%, but monsoon rainfall that has been 12% below normal crimped the summer crop planted area. Low global oil prices, a positive base effect, and tight monetary policy kept consumer price inflation benign at an average of 4.8% in the first 4 months of FY2015. Core inflation has trended downward for nearly 2 years and now hovers just above 4%. ################################################# India’s brand value increased by 32 per cent, the most among top 20 countries, and also increased by one position in last one year to become the world’s seventh most valued ‘nation brand’, as per the annual report on world’s most valuable nation brands compiled by Brand Finance. ############################################# India’s economic freedom score is 54.6, making its economy the 128th freest in the 2015 Index. Its score is down by 1.1 points from last year, with modest improvements in business freedom, property rights, and freedom from corruption offset by declines in labor freedom and trade freedom. India is ranked 26th out of 41 countries in the Asia–Pacific region, and its overall score continues to be below the regional and world averages. ####################################### Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/politicovtubers/?skip_nax_wizard=true Facebook group Politico https://www.facebook.com/groups/1644206345857500 Google Plus : https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/115975208277400856427/+Politicopolitico Follow me on Twitter - https://twitter.com/pratix_shukla Let's keep the comment section AWESOME to ensure everyone has a good time.
