More quotes by Manmohan Singh
I believe a large part of humanity will draw appropriate lessons from what is the wave of the future in the 21st century.
Manmohan Singh
I am not very good at statistics. I am also a poor thinker.
Manmohan Singh
Life is never free of contradictions
Manmohan Singh
I think the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Manmohan Singh
The emergence of India as a major global power is an idea whose time has come. This is a legitimate ambition for China. This is a legitimate ambition for India. And the challenge for the humanity is to evolve a world system in which the legitimate ambitions of both our countries can find constructive expression without threatening anybody else.
Manmohan Singh
I have to create in India a macroeconomic environment where the employment in aggregate can go up at a handsome rate. Once that happens, people losing jobs in one sector will not mean that they will become perpetually unemployed. From one sector, they can move on to other sectors.
Manmohan Singh
Yes, I think India's economy always has been a mixed economy, and by Western standards we are much more of a market economy than a public sector-driven economy.
Manmohan Singh
Meaningful solutions to the problems of mass poverty that prevails in India I believe can only be found in the framework of an expanding economy.
Manmohan Singh
India's saving rate will go up. India's investment rate will go up. And I believe that's a plus point.
Manmohan Singh
Protectionism is a very real danger. It is understandable that in times of a severe downturn protectionist pressures mount but the lessons of history are clear. If we give in to protectionist pressures, we will only send the world into a downward spiral.

The emergence of India as a major global power is an idea whose time has come.
Manmohan Singh
The Indian economy grew at 5.5 percent, but if you look at the last 30 years - for example, 1960 to 1985 - the progress made by East Asian countries was phenomenal. In a single generation they had been able to transform the character of their economy. They were able to get rid of chronic poverty.
Manmohan Singh
We are a coalition government, and that limits our options in some ways. Privatization happens to be one such area.
Manmohan Singh
Outsourcing, information technology revolution, the access to India's human resources, India's pool of scientists. It will help American companies to become leaner, meaner, more efficient, and they become more competitive, both in the United States and in dealing with the rest of the world.
Manmohan Singh
If you don't have a functioning financial system the world economy won't be revived. All the major economies have their responsibility to assist at a pace which is required to clean up the balance sheet of the banking system and to ensure that credit flows are resumed.
Manmohan Singh
China is very important. The future growth of China, China's influence is bound to rise.
Manmohan Singh
Jawaharlal Nehru wanted India to develop close ties with China and learn from its experience.
Manmohan Singh
I do recognize that India has to be the center, the hub of activity as far as the knowledge economy is concerned.
Manmohan Singh
In a country where employment opportunities are not growing fast enough, the fear of change tends to be very acute.
Manmohan Singh
