Poll outcome unlikely to hit reforms agenda: Montek

January 25, 2014 20:44

India is committed to structural reforms to boost growth and any change in the government after the next elections is unlikely to have a major impact on the country's economic reform policy framework, Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia said today.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Ahluwalia said tapering in the US indeed poses a risk for the global markets, but well-managed economies would withstand the shock.

He said India was much better prepared now to deal with the impact of US Federal Reserve tapering its monetary stimulus.
