OECD economic survey of India (pdf 170kb)

This policy brief presents the assessment and recommendations of the 2007 OECD economic survey which was supported by AusAID.  It focuses on the macroeconomic and structural developments which most likely constitute barriers for the long-term sustainability of growth and therefore require policy attention.

The OECD survey finds that India's success over the past two decades is largely the result of reforms that give a greater role to the private sector while reducing the presence of the state in economic affairs.

The survey also points to a number of areas where India's economy could benefit from further reforms including improving the business environment; infrastructure; public finances and labour market reform.
