EXPERT VIEWS

"We have had a good monsoon and the commodity prices have come down dramatically...if the inflation can be tackled or corrected, which it could if the commodity prices come down, then I think we will see peaking of the interest rate cycle. And if interest rates come down, India will do very well."

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala
Investor
"If we take a 20-year horizon, we know that the world will look very different. The change in relative economic weight calls for changes in the global order and these changes can be brought about faster, and more effectively, if India and China work together along with other emerging market economies. We need to collaborate in new groupings, such as G-20 and the BRICS to ensure there is a regular exchange of views between us."

Montek Singh Ahluwalia
Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission
(On turning 88 years old) "I think I am still growing and learning. I have not achieved anything and I am not boasting because I feel there is so much to be done. I don't delve into past. What is done is done. You have to move ahead in life."
