ConclusionThe Indian economy is already under the
impactof global financial crisis.
Government has taken various steps but as
of now there are no signs of recovery.
Share priceshave steadily fallen,rupee has
lost ground to the dollar, exports have been
hit, various sectors of the economy have
seen decline in demand and even the Prime
Minister has gone on record to say that that
India has to bear the pain.
The point is that we have to live with the
present scenario for some more time to
come.
