India Economic Summit 2005
A young and resurgent India
India's economic reforms has resulted in increasing growth and continued to boost the country's status on to the world stage. According to the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report 2005-2006, India is ranked 50 out of 117 economies featured in the Growth Competitiveness Index.
As the Indian economy continues to prosper and attract global interests, its government must contend with other prevailing issues such as building its infrastructure and reducing poverty and unemployment. To address these challenges and guide India towards continuing growth will require the involvement of domestic and foreign stakeholders.
The World Economic Forum's India Economic Summit gathered government officials and business leaders within and outside of India. They explored how India can harness its economic potential, tackle its social issues, and improve its global competitiveness.

Improving India's competitiveness will depend on improving basic infrastructure and reducing waste in government spending, according to the results of the meeting.
