BENGALURU: The country's economy is growing at over 7 per cent
despite the weakness in exports sector, Commerce and Industries Minister
Nirmala Sitharaman said recently.
"India is the bright spot. Nobody is denying the
exports. Export is suffering, but the fact remains that the Indian economy is
growing at over 7 per cent," she informed at the Indian Institute of Management-Bangalore.
Exports dipped for the 14th month in a row in January, falling 13.6 per cent to
USD 21 billion, due to fall in shipments of petroleum and engineering goods.
Giving reasons for the weakness in exports, Sitharaman
said, "The contraction in demand that is happening all over the globe is
the reason currency values are falling and markets to which we have been
traditionally exporting are facing devaluation of their currencies."
However, the brighter side of the India economy lies in the fact that the
country continues to attract investments, she said.
“Investments are coming in, manufacturing is happening
here. So, these are the brighter sides of the story," she said.
