Manmohan Singh

Manmohan Singh
The death of distance. There is hardly any middle class family in India who doesn't have a son, a daughter, a son-in-law, a brother, a brother-in-law in the United States. That is a very powerful new bond.
Manmohan Singh

Our system is slow to move but I'm confident that once decisions are taken they are going to be far more durable.

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
India's future lies in being an open society, an open polity, a functioning democracy respecting all fundamental human freedoms, accepting the rule of law and, at the same time, to emerge as a successful, internationally competitive market economy.

So outside agriculture, in manufacturing and services, we must create a lot more jobs.
