TEXTO
Indian economy set to decelerate
India expects its economy to grow by 8.7% in the financial year ending March, the slowest
rate of expansion in three years.
Finance minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said the lower-than -expected growth was due
to a slowdown in agriculture.
Growth remains strong in the country's services, construction and communications sectors.
India's economy expanded by 9.6% in the year ended March 2007.
Despite the forecast of slower growth, India is still the world's fastest growing major
economy after China. But both China and India are expected to slow slightly in the coming
year as a severe US downturn saps demand for exports.
High Indian interest rates have led to a stronger currency that could make the country's
exports more expensive on world markets.
But spending by the country's emerging middle class of 50 million - equal to the combined
population of Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Australia - should help sustain growth.
