November 30, 1998 The economic liberalisation in India refers to ongoing reforms in India that started in 1991. After Independence in 1947, India adhered to socialist policies. In the 1980s, Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi initiated some reforms. In 1991, after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had bailed out the bankrupt state, the government of PV Narasimha Rao and his finance minister Manmohan Singh started breakthrough reforms. The new policies included opening for international trade and investment, deregulation, initiation of privatization, tax reforms, and inflation-controlling measures. The overall direction of liberalisation has since remained the same, irrespective of the ruling party, although no party has yet tried to take on powerful lobbies such as the trade unions and farmers, or contentious issues such as reforming labor laws and reducing agricultural subsidies. As of 2009, about 300 million people — equivalent to the entire population of the United States — have escaped extreme poverty. The fruits of liberalisation reached their peak in 2007, with India recording its highest GDP growth rate of 9%. With this, India became the second fastest growing major economy in the world, next only to China. An Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report states that the average growth rate 7.5% will double the average income in a decade, and more reforms would speed up the pace.

This lecture analyzes the economic implications of the rise of China, India, Brazil, and South Africa for the world economy. It examines the possible impact of their rapid growth on both industrialized and developing countries. The essential question is whether these four countries could be the new engines of growth for the world economy.

The surging price of gold has done little to dent India's appetite for the precious metal or dim its luster in their eyes. India is the world's largest private gold consumer, accounting for about 20 per cent of global demand. India's cultural affinity for gold is legendary. Indian brides are traditionally bedecked in heavy gold jewellery - seen as a symbol of wealth, prosperity, and also security. It is estimated that two-thirds of the gold consumption is related to Indian weddings With around 10 million marriages a year in the country of 1.1 billion people, wedding-related demand is huge, especially during the nuptial season between October and January, April and May. But this wedding season, gold prices are at an all-time high, forcing many people to cut back on their purchases. The rise in the price of gold is a reflection of the loss of confidence in foreign currencies, especially the strength of the US dollar. However, prices have been boosted by India purchasing 200 tonnes of gold from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Al Jazeera's Prerna Suri reports from New Delhi, on the impact volatile prices are having on India's long love of gold.
