Top Emerging Markets - India

Since its economic revival in the 1990s, India has become one of the fastest-growing countries in the world. It has posted an average 7% growth rate since 1997, and recorded an 8% growth rate last year.

Indian's and investors alike cheered this recent development, pushing India's Sensex index up 17% in trading on last Monday. While this is a positive development for India, I remain hesitant that this equals brighter skies ahead for Asia's third-largest economy. more...
