India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of i ts pastautarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrialderegulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reducedcontrols on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s andhas served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged

more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economyencompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture,handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, butservices are the major source of economic growth, accounting for morethan half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. Indiahas capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population tobecome a major exporter of information technology services andsoftware workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly fromthe global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domesticdemand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms.

Merchandise exports, which account for about 15% of GDP, returned topre-financial crisis levels. An industrial expansion and high food prices,resulting from the combined effects of the weak 2009 monsoon andinefficiencies in the government's food distribution system, fueledinflation which peaked at about 11% in the first half of 2010, but hasgradually decreased to single digits following a series of central bankinterest rate hikes. In 2010 New Delhi reduced subsidies for fuel andfertilizers, sold a small percentage of its shares in some state-ownedenterprises and auctioned off rights to radio bandwidth for 3Gtelecommunications in part to lower the government's deficit. TheIndian Government seeks to reduce its budget deficit to 5.5% of GDP in

FY 2010-11, down from 6.8% in the previous fiscal year. India's longterm challenges include widespread poverty, inadequate physical andsocial infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities,insufficient access to quality basic and higher education, andaccommodating rural-to-urban migration.
