Meanwhile, praising the fundamental economic reforms like the GST and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code carried out by the Modi government, IMF's Chief Economist Maurice Obstfeld said that India's growth has been "very solid" over the past four years.
Obstfeld, 66, -- who is set to retire this month-end -- will be succeeded by Gita Gopinath, the second Indian to be appointed to the position. Former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan had served as Chief Economist of the International Monetary Fund."India under the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has carried out some really fundamental reforms. These include the Goods and Services Tax (GST), the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code...A lot of what they have done on financial inclusion has been really important," Obstfeld told a group of journalists.
