Global developments a concern but 6 growth possible: Rajan

Yesterdays US labour numbers came in very weak compared to expectations,the tensions in Korean peninsula which is creating problems and in Europe you have the Cyprus issues and some concern about some of the banking systems in some of the peripheral countries because of what happened in Cyprus.

I dont think we have seen the end of that, he said. But Rajan said he would stand by the 6.1-6.7 per cent Indian economic projection for this year. This year,we made a forecast of 6.1 and 6.7 per cent and I still stand by that. I am not going to drop on that but what we have seen last few weeks,indicators both in India and outside and we will have to be watching carefully but I dont see any reasons to change our forecast.

Rajan was speaking to reporters after delivering a keynote address at the two-day IMPACT 2013 conference,organised by the Indian Institute of Management alumni in Singapore.
