Donna Grant

"Since we took office, inflation, the fiscal deficit and the balance of payments current account deficit have all fallen. GDP growth, foreign exchange reserves, stock market valuations, and investor confidence have all increased. This success is the result of a series of well thought out policies."

Donna Grant

"My task over the last two years hasn't just been to stop the bleeding. My task has also been to try to figure out how do we address some of the structural problems in the economy that have prevented more Googles from being created."

Quote_1.png
Donna Grant

"Another point of economy is to look for seed of the same kind as you sow, and not to hope to buy one kind with an other kind. Friendship buys friendship; justice, justice; military merit, military success...Yet there is commonly a confusion of expectations on these points. Hotspur lives for the moment, praises himself for it, and despises Furlong, that he does not. Hotspur of course is poor, and Furlong is a good provider. The odd circumstance is that Hotspur thinks it a superiority in himself, this improvidence, which ought to be rewarded with Furlong's lands."

Donna Grant

"Money is representative, and follows the nature and fortunes of the owner...The farmer is covetous of his dollar, and with reason. It is no waif to him. He knows how many strokes of labor it represents. His bones ache with the days' work that earned it. He knows how much land it represents - how much rain, frost and sunshine. He knows that, in the dollar, he gives you so much discretion and patience, so much hoeing and threshing. Try to lift his dollar; you must lift all that weight. In the city, where money follows the skit of a pen or a lucky rise in exchange, it comes to be looked on as light."

"Our "Make in India" initiative is not intended for only manufacturing for the domestic market or import substitution. It is as much about making world-class products and services for the whole globe."

Quote_1.png
Donna Grant

"India is one of the world economy's brightest spots. We have low inflation, a low balance of payments current account deficit, and a high rate of growth. This is the result of good policy, not good fortune."

Quote_1.png
Donna Grant

"Usually it is one or two things that are talked about, but today growth has being talked about in all sectors. Electricity production has gone up and so has demand. Infrastructure work is also growing rapidly and that happens when there is demand in the economy. From all this it looks like we have moved ahead to better days."

Quote_1.png
Donna Grant

"India is a land of potentials and now, it is also a land of enabling policy environment. It is a nation of 1.25 billion people blessed with the extraordinary resources in the form of 800 million youth. At a time when the global economy remains weak the world speaks in one voice that India is the new bright spot of hope for our region and the world."
