India's economy grows faster than expected

Bbc News
INDIA'S economic growth rate picked up strongly in the second quarter, according to official figures.
The economy expanded at an annual rate of 4.8 percent in the July-to-September period, up from 4.4 percent in the previous quarter.
The acceleration was faster than analysts had been expecting.
Asia's third-largest economy has been weighed down by various factors, such as high inflation, a weak currency and a drop in foreign investment.
This is the fourth quarter in a row that India's annual growth rate has been below the 5 percent mark, and the previous quarter's rate of 4.4 percent was the lowest for four years.
Earlier this year, the Indian prime minister's economic advisory council lowered the growth outlook for the
current financial year.
It now expects the economy' to expand by 5.3 percent this year, down from its earlier projection of 6.4 percent.
India's economy has been hurt by a range of factors in recent months, including a slowdown in key sectors such as mining and manufacturing.
Slowing growth, coupled with a recovery' in developed markets, such as the LIS, has made India a less attractive option for foreign investors.
Speculation that the LIS may scale back its key economic stimulus measure has seen investors pull money out of emerging markets, such as India.
This has affected India's currency', which dipped nearly 25 percent against the US dollar between January and September this year.
Though the rupee has recovered a little since then, it is still down about 13 percent against the dollar since the start of this year.
That has made imports more expensive and contributed to a high rate of consumer inflation, which was 10.1 percent October, up from 9.84 percent in September.
High food and fuel prices have contributed to inflation becoming "entrenched", finance minister P Chidambaram said.
As a result, the central bank has had to raise the cost of borrowing in a bid to curb inflation.
The latest interest rate rise in October saw the key rate increase to 7.75 percent.
Some observers argue that high interest rates are hurting businesses and households, and having a negative impact on the economy.
"A combination of weak investment, high inflation and tight monetary' policy would not let India's economic recovery gather steam any time soon," Miguel Chanco, Asia economist at Capital Economics, told the BBC.
