Indian Economic Growth Slows Down At 4.7 Percent in Q4

Share Print 0

India’s economic growth rate slowed down in the most recent quarter, according to official figures.

The economy expanded at an annual rate of 4.7% in the three months to December, down from 4.8% in the previous quarter.

The figure was lower than analysts had been expecting.

Asia’s third-largest economy has been weighed down by various factors, such as high inflation, a weak currency and a drop in foreign investment.

For the same period in 2012, annual GDP growth was 4.5%.
